The problem is none of us want to work for the guy. Hes a nightmare client, said one top federal criminal defense attorney in the Southern District of Florida, noting that Trumps legal team has been the subject of numerous unflattering stories about infighting and the capriciousness of Trump.
I would love to do it. I think the case is weak. But my wife would divorce me and my kids wouldnt talk to me if I defended Trump," said another who had informal discussions with Trumps team.
Facing 37 federal counts in the case concerning his handling of classified documents and obstructing justice, Trump is the first former president to be charged for a crime in federal court. In March, he became the first former president to be charged in a state court in New York City, where the Manhattan prosecutor charged him in relation to a hush-money scheme related to a porn star.
The federal indictment is viewed by legal experts, including former Trump-appointed Attorney General Bill Barr, as being much more serious. Even accused murderer O.J. Simpson, who was ultimately acquitted of killing his ex-wife and her friend in what was the trial of the century in the mid-1990s, weighed in on Trumps case and advised him to stop talking about it.
Trump didnt. In his first remarks after his indictment, in Georgia, he spent about a half hour giving his defense and attacking the prosecutor in the federal case.
"I AM AN INNOCENT MAN, Trump said on his Truth Social media platform after word of his indictment leaked. THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS TOTALLY CORRUPT. THIS IS ELECTION INTERFERENCE & A CONTINUATION OF THE GREATEST WITCH HUNT OF ALL TIME. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!!"
