After touching down in Miami on Monday, Trump spent the afternoon interviewing prospective lawyers who are members of the Florida Bar.
Two of his prior Florida lawyers — Jim Trusty and John Rowley — resigned last week when they became material witnesses after Trump asked them to help hide or destroy the classified documents.
Trump hired veteran Florida litigator and former Republican candidate for the Florida Senate, Chris Kise, has cast a large net leading the search for a Florida barred lawyer, but Kise has declined to take the case himself.
The 11th-hour flurry of action to hire a seasoned trial attorney was a familiar dance for Trump, who has had difficulty hiring and keeping lawyers over the course of numerous federal and state investigations since his 2016 election as president.
Disagreements over legal strategy and Trump's well-known failure to pay have hindered the search for new defense attorneys.
Trump wants to pursue an aggressively partisan strategy in which they would accuse the Justice Department of prosecutorial misconduct and weaponizing the legal system against criminals.
Others urge the former president to put together a traditional defense team focused on jury selection — as only one hold-out juror is all Trump needs to avoid conviction on these charges. These advisors fear a scorched-earth attack on the US justice system would alienate any jury and most of the country.
