Two lawyers who represented Donald Trump in the months before the former president was indicted on federal charges over his handling of classified documents quit working for him Friday morning.
The attorneys, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, did not explain in detail why they had resigned, other than to say that “this is a logical moment” to do given his indictment Thursday in U.S. District Court in Miami.
Trump first announced the lawyers were no longer representing him in a post on his Truth Social social media post.
Trump said he would now be represented by Todd Blanche, a New York lawyer who already was representing him in another criminal case in Manhattan Supreme Court. Trump is charged in the state grand jury indictment there with falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to porn Stormy Daniels shortly before the 2016 presidential election.
