BREAKING: Trump fires lawyer ahead of surrender at Fulton County Jail

by The Right Scoop

Donald Trump is expected to surrender sometime today at Fulton County Jail, a sad moment for the country to be sure.

News is breaking this morning that Trump has just fired one of his lawyers and replaced him with a new attorney who will handle his processing today in Atlanta.

Here’s more via NBC News:

Trump has replaced attorney Drew Findling and will use attorney Steven Sadow to handle his arrest and processing today in Atlanta, a source with direct knowledge of the matter tells NBC News.

Findling could not immediately be reached for comment.

Sadow confirmed he is now representing Trump in a statement

“I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case,” he said in the statement. “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. Prosecutions intended to advance or serve the ambitions and careers of political opponents of the president have no place in our justice system.”

There is no word on why Findling was suddenly let go and replaced with Sadow. If I see anything on this I’ll bring it to you.

UPDATE: It appears Sadow is an Atlanta-based attorney from what I’ve read. Also, Findling was the one who negotiated Trump’s $200k bond.

UPDATE 2: CNN Says this wasn’t about Findling’s performance: “A Trump source indicated that this was not about Findling’s performance, while another familiar with Sadow called him the “best criminal defense attorney in Georgia.” Trump’s other Georgia attorney, Jennifer Little, is expected to stay on the legal team and work with Sadow.”
