Today in Trump's NY fraud trial

We can't be surprised Trump's attorneys are as despicable as he himself.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

Whaaaaaat?

That seems counterinducive to finding a local attorney.

And can't he have a court-appointed attorney?  A public defender should help him relate to his base.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE 06/13/2023:

Looks like Chris Kise will do the job.

Delays are all he has left

A highly regarded lawyer for Donald Trump has been sidelined less than a month after he was hired to defend against the investigation into government documents kept at Mar-a-Lago, according to CNN.

In mid-September, media reports found that former Florida Solicitor General Chris Kise was paid a whopping $3 million advance to represent the former president after the FBI seized 11,000 sensitive files from his Florida home in August.

[...]

Kise’s salary was covered by the former president’s key fundraising arm, the Save America political action committee.

[...]

CNN reported that the lawyer is expected to stay on Trump’s legal team but will not be leading the defense.

Although Trump representatives haven’t explained the reason for the shift, observers are suggesting that Kise may focus on other investigations facing the former president, such as a recent lawsuit filed by the New York attorney general over allegations of a long-running tax-dodging scheme.

If Trump did in fact pay in advance, he'll be asking for a refund. 

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:  Apparently, that really was the reason...
