"Suicide mission": Trump reportedly turned down by lawyers because his "case is a certain loser"

“Suicide mission”: Trump reportedly turned down by lawyers because his “case is a certain loser”

"Infamously difficult client" Trump is struggling to replace top attorneys who abruptly resigned last month

Former President Donald Trump is struggling to find enough lawyers to defend him in a mounting number of legal cases, according to Rolling Stone.

Trump, who has been indicted in connection to the 2016 campaign hush-money payments in Manhattan and the Mar-a-Lago documents case, faces potential indictments for his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in D.C. and Georgia. But Trump's effort to recruit new lawyers to defend him has been "fraught," in part because Trump is an "infamously difficult client," sources told the outlet.
