Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on federal criminal charges, prompting him to shake up his legal team and replace attorneys Jim Trusty and John Rowley with Todd Blanche, Esq. and a firm to be named later. The case has been assigned to Judge Aileen Cannon, a former federal prosecutor nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020, and Trump has expressed his disapproval of the charges on his Truth Social platform. This is the first time a former president has been charged with a federal crime, and the public is sure to be closely watching the case as Trump's legal team prepares to make a statement regarding their strategy.
