The surprise announcement by Trump’s lawyers John Rowley and Jim Trusty could prompt further legal complications ahead of Trump’s scheduled appearance in federal court in Miami on Tuesday in the documents case.

“This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump,” the two lawyers said in a statement. “It has been an honor to have spent the last year defending him, and we know he will be vindicated.”

Trump said on social media that he was being represented by white collar defense lawyer Todd Blanche.

[Trusty was reportedly on the air this morning defending Trump, so this is a bit of a surprise. Because of that, though, I’d guess that Trump made the call rather than Trusty and Rowley. It’s still curious. — Ed]
