Trump's Lawyer Search Fails Ahead of Mar-a-Lago Documents Arraignment
TL;DR
Former US President Donald Trump struggled to find a local Florida lawyer willing to join his legal defense team for his first court appearance to face federal criminal charges for retaining national security materials and obstruction of justice. Trump and his legal team spent the afternoon before his arraignment interviewing potential lawyers but the interviews did not result in any joining the team in time for Trump’s initial court appearance scheduled for 3pm ET on Tuesday after several attorneys declined to take him as a client.
