John Rowley and Jim Trusty surprisingly announced on Friday that they informed Trump about their move in the morning. Nothing was initially known about the reasons. It was an honor to defend Trump last year, the two lawyers said in a statement. The affair involves confidential documents that Trump is said to have taken with him when he left the White House in early 2021. He is accused of unlawfully withholding classified information, making false statements and obstructing justice. Trusty told CNN on Thursday that Trump had been charged in the affair.
After a trial for a hush money payment, it would be the second time that Trump would have to face criminal proceedings. The new indictment would also be the first trial in US history at the federal level against an ex-president. A former servant was also charged, Trump said on his social network Truth Social. The charges were unclear. The Wall Street Journal previously reported on it.
