Former President Donald Trump’s Attorneys Step Down from Representing Him in Criminal Case Filed in Miami

Former President Donald Trump’s attorneys, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, have announced they will no longer be representing him in the criminal case related to sensitive documents recovered at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida. The attorneys cited the case being filed in Miami as the reason for their departure.

In a joint statement, Trusty and Rowley said it had been an honor to defend Trump for the past year and that they believe he will be vindicated in his battle against the Biden Administration’s “partisan weaponization of the American justice system.” They also said they will not be representing Trump in the Jan. 6 investigation.

The Justice Department recently indicted Trump over his handling of classified documents at his Florida residence. The documents were recovered after Trump left the White House.

The attorneys said that now that the case has been filed in Miami, it is a logical moment for them to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion. They did not specify who would be taking over the cases.

The news of the attorneys’ departure comes as Trump continues to face legal troubles related to his time in office. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and has vowed to fight the charges against him. It is unclear how the attorneys’ departure will affect the cases.
