Donald Trump Changes Lawyer Hours To Be Arrested

Former US president Donald Trump has swapped out his lead defense lawyer in the case against him in Georgia relating to allegations of a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in the state, just hours before he is due to be arrested over the charges.

Drew Findling, who had been leading the former president’s legal team in the case, has been replaced by Steven Sadow, a high-profile defense lawyer from Atlanta.

The source reportedly said that the personnel change was not to do with Findling’s performance in the case thus far, but described Sadow as the “best criminal defense attorney in Georgia.”In a statement to the news network, Sadow confirmed he had been retained by the former president in his case in Fulton County.

He added: “The president should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him.”We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open-minded jury finding the president not guilty.”
