Former President Donald Trump, who spent the day prior to his historic federal court appearance desperately scrambling to find legal representation, appeared in court Tuesday accompanied by two of his existing attorneys as he faced federal criminal charges for retaining national security documents and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them.
His attorneys Todd Blanche, an attorney handling his case in New York, and former Florida solicitor general Christopher Kise joined him in court after several prominent Florida attorneys declined to take on him as a client.
