In what seems to be a housecleaning effort, former president Donald Trump abruptly fires two of his top attorneys.
The focus is on President Trump amid a criminal investigation for keeping secret records after leaving office.

On Friday morning, Trump made the announcement, posting on Truth Social: “For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later.”
Then he expressed gratitude to his now-ex-counsel Jim Trusty and John Rowley for “their work… against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and’sick’ group of people, the likes of which has never been seen.”
“We will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days,” he said, adding: “When will Joe Biden be Indicted for his many crimes against our Nation? MAGA!”
Soon after that, Trusty and Rowley released a joint statement announcing their separation from the former president Trump’s legal team.
“This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation,” the statement read. “It has been an honor to have spent the last year defending him, and we know he will be vindicated in his battle against the Biden Administration’s partisan weaponization of the American justice system.”
“Now that the case has been filed in Miami, this is a logical moment for us to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion,” they also added that they won’t be talking about their withdrawal during any interviews with the media.

On the eve of his resignation, Trusty appeared on CNN and was questioned about Trump’s legal counsel at his upcoming court appearance.
“We’ll see. It’ll make some excitement to see who shows up to the table on Tuesday, I guess,” Trusty told Kaitlan Collins of CNN.
A seasoned white-collar criminal defense attorney with prior experience as a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, Blanche is Trump’s newest legal representative. The Washington Examiner’s reporting of this information demonstrates Blanche’s qualifications and legal knowledge.
He was asked to join Trump’s legal team in April when the former president was charged with fraud in relation to the covert payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
“I have been asked to represent Trump in the recently charged DA case, and after much thought/consideration, I have decided it is the best thing for me to do and an opportunity I should not pass up,” in a statement to Politico at the time, Blanche claimed.
Benedict Kuehne is reportedly being considered as the newest member of President Trump’s legal staff, according to CNN.
