After being indicted by the Justice Department on Thursday regarding the Mar-a-Lago classified documents inquiry, Trump posted to Truth Social on Friday that his legal team would no longer be representing him as he faces the federal indictment in Florida. This is just one of the many legal issues impending the Florida retiree.<\/p>\n<p>In his post, the former president stated he is now going to be represented by attorney Todd Blanche and a law firm that\u2019s \u201cto be named later,\u201d according to WFTV\u2019s reporting on the story. \u201cI want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil and \u2018sick\u2019 group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before,\u201d Trump said in his post. \u201cWe will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The Washington Post obtained a joint statement from Trump\u2019s former lawyers, Trusty and Rowley, which stated that the pair had \u201ctendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation.\u201d Rowley and Trusty\u2019s resignations happened at \u201ca logical moment for us to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump also stated that he is scheduled to appear in the federal courthouse in Miami on Tuesday at 3 p.m. While official authorities have yet to release a statement on the pending arraignment, Trump has gone on to say that this is related to \u201cthe Boxes Hoax.\u201d He continues to insist that he has done nothing wrong when he\u2019s literally done everything erroneously.<\/p>\n<p>A quick refresher on the case \u2014 federal authorities removed more than 100 classified documents from Trump\u2019s residence at Mar-a-Lago in West Palm, Florida, last year. The former guy had claimed he turned over all documents, which ended up not being true for obvious reasons. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Jack Smith to act as the special counsel in overseeing the investigation.<\/p>\n<p>I can guarantee you that if Jack Smith has convinced a federal grand jury in Florida \u2014 which voted for Trump both in 2016 and 2020 \u2014 then the evidence they have against him must be pretty concrete. The Justice Department has a 99.96 percent success rate in cases involving violating the Espionage Act. Donal Trump has no one to blame but himself as he is the one who changed the law in 2018 raising the penalty of taking classified documents in hopes of getting Hillary Clinton arrested. Look who\u2019s laughing now Donald.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 14pt; color: #808000;\"><a style=\"color: #808000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.authorhouse.com\/en\/bookstore\/bookdetails\/232300-BOXING-INTERVIEWS-OF-A-LIFETIME\">Click Here to Order Boxing Interviews Of A Lifetime By &#8220;Bad&#8221; Brad Berkwitt<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Nikki Slusher This week has not been favorable for Donald Trump.
