Trump has replaced attorney Drew Findling and will use attorney Steven Sadow to handle his arrest and processing today in Atlanta, a source with direct knowledge of the matter tells NBC News.
Findling could not immediately be reached for comment.
[This is a surprising last-minute change. Findling has been representing Trump for a while in Georgia, and his status as a high-profile celebrity attorney seemed a good fit for Trump. His professed political opposition to Trump may have also worked to Trump’s benefit. One has to wonder whether Trump didn’t like that, or whether Findling came under a lot of social pressure to cut Trump loose. It might be neither, but it would be interesting to find out what happened. — Ed]
