Former President Donald Trump made a last-minute alteration to his legal team in Georgia on Thursday, just hours prior to his scheduled surrender to authorities in Fulton County.
Trump substituted his lead attorney, Drew Findling, with Atlanta-based lawyer Steven Sadow. Sadow’s professional background highlights his role as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defense.” The decision to make this change was reportedly not based on any shortcomings in Findling’s performance, as per multiple sources.
In a statement, Sadow stated, “I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case. The president should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him. We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open-minded jury finding the president not guilty.”
