The former guy's efforts to find a local lawyer are not going very well. But there are always options for criminals who need lawyers in Miami, right?
June 12, 2023

Former President Donald Trump will travel from New Jersey to Miami today to appear for his arraignment in federal court on Tuesday. Unfortunately for the scandal-plagued former President, at least one prominent Miami-based defense attorney has turned Trump down. And two of Trump's attorneys, Jim Trusty and John Rowley, resigned on Friday, just hours after the one-termer was informed of the indictment.

According to NBC News, Trump’s arraignment in Miami tomorrow can’t go forward unless the twice-impeached twice-indicted President finds local counsel.

"If Trump doesn’t find local counsel, the surrender and first appearance will still happen tomorrow, but the arraignment may have to be postponed," the outlet reports.

The Internet has some suggestions.

It's mentally exhausting how they treat Trump with kid gloves. Trump has called for protests, saying, “Look, our country has to protest. We have plenty ... to protest. We’ve lost everything." Nah, we're good, but thanks, Sport.

In the meantime, Trump had better call Saul, and hope he's available.
