"The WAPO story that ‘Trump is scrambling to add seasoned lawyers’ to the Mar-a-Lago Raid case is, as usual, FAKE NEWS," he wrote. "I already have excellent and experienced lawyers - am very happy with them."
The Washington Post published a report on Tuesday — titled "Trump is rushing to hire seasoned lawyers — but he keeps hearing ‘No’" — in which the outlet claimed Trump's current legal team does not have anyone with federal case experience.
