They resigned Lawyers of Donald Trump from the case in which he is accused of illegally keeping classified documents from his time as president of the United States.
The Wall Street Journal writes that a former associate of Trump, his former military aide, Wall Nouta, was also referred. Nowta worked at the White House and followed Trump to the Mar-al-Lago. He reportedly helped transport the cardboard boxes containing documents and other memorabilia from Trump’s time as president.

“This morning we submitted our resignations to President Trump,” they said in a statement. “It has been our honor to spend the last year defending him and we know he will be vindicated,” they added.
Trump announced via social networking sites that Todd Blanch, an attorney specializing in financial law, is representing him.
