Two of former President Donald Trump’s attorneys abruptly resigned on Friday, less than a day after Joe Biden’s Justice Department indicted him on seven federal charges related to his handling of classified documents.

The leading contender in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, Trump is currently facing indictment on multiple charges, including obstruction of justice, conspiracy, and illegal retention of classified government material.

A federal court in Miami issued an order for his appearance on Tuesday. The indictment has not been made public and remains under seal, Fox News reported.

The attorneys representing him, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, resigned Friday.

“This morning we tendered our resignations as counsel to President Trump, and we will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation,” Trusty and Rowley said in a statement Friday. “It has been an honor to have spent the last year defending him, and we know he will be vindicated in his battle against the Biden Administration’s partisan weaponization of the American justice system.

“Now that the case has been filed in Miami, this is a logical moment for us to step aside and let others carry the cases through to completion,” they added. “We have no plans to hold media appearances that address our withdrawals or any other confidential communications we’ve had with the President or his legal team.”

In a Truth Social post on Friday, Trump said he was bringing in attorney Todd Blanche.

“For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later,” Trump wrote. “I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and ‘sick’ group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before.”

He added: “We will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days. When will Joe Biden be Indicted for his many crimes against our Nation? MAGA!”

Fox News added:

Blanche, a former partner at Cadwalader, Wickersham & Taft, is also Trump’s defense attorney in the case brought against the former president by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Blanche previously represented Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman. Manafort was charged as part of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation in 2019, and pleaded guilty to foreign lobbying and witness tampering, as well as tax fraud and conspiracy.
