This afternoon, the ex-president plans to turn himself in to the authorities at the Atlanta County Jail. Only a few hours earlier, he is said to have changed his legal counsel.
Former US President According to the media, Donald Trump has hired a new lawyer shortly before an appointment in connection with an indictment for attempted voter fraud in the state of Georgia.
The defense attorney Steve Sadow will replace the previous attorney Drew Findling, among other things, the broadcaster CNN and the newspaper “The Atlanta Journal-Constitution” reported. “I have been assigned to represent President Trump in the case in Fulton County, Georgia,” Sadow said in a statement. CNN, citing unnamed sources, wrote that this had nothing to do with Findling’s past performance. Sadow is the best defenseman in Georgia. Trump has already exchanged lawyers at short notice in connection with charges against him in the past.
Trump was scheduled to surrender to authorities at the Atlanta County Jail this afternoon (local time). There, the Republican presidential candidate must endure the formal procedure that follows an impeachment. But he can leave the city again afterwards. The fact that Trump, unlike previous charges, does not have to appear in court but in prison has a new quality, at least visually. Trump has been charged with 18 other suspects over his attempts to influence the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.
