Two of former President Donald Trump's lawyers resigned after he was indicted Thursday in Florida. Attorneys Jim Trusty and John Rowley said in a statement they will no longer represent him in the criminal case related to sensitive documents recovered at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida after Trump left the White House, nor will they represent him in the Jan. 6 investigation.
"It has been an honor to have spent the last year defending him, and we know he will be vindicated in his battle against the Biden Administration's partisan weaponization of the American justice system," Trusty and Rowley said in a statement. "Now that the case has been filed in Miami, this is a logical moment for us to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion."
The pair said they "have no plans to hold media appearances that address our withdrawals or any other confidential communications we've had with the president or his legal team."
