people.com – By Virginia Chamlee – While Donald Trump faces a host of legal issues since leaving office, a new report alleges the former president, 76, finds himself confronted with a new challenge: He’s having trouble hiring lawyers.
The Washington Post reports that, after last week’s FBI search at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home, the former president’s team is struggling to find respected legal counsel.
“Everyone is saying no,” one source — identified only as “a prominent Republican lawyer” — told the Post.
The outlet adds that Trump’s current attorneys have little to no experience in cases such as this one, which centers on the alleged mishandling of classified documents and suspected violation of the Espionage Act.
