The former president has a long history of losing lawyers and deterring others from working for him out of fear of being used as \u201cattack dogs or political aides,\u201d the <em>Guardian <\/em>reported Tuesday, citing people familiar with his search for new attorneys. Rowland and Trusty, hours after Trump was indicted by the Justice Department, explained to the court that it was a \u201clogical moment\u201d to part ways with Trump. Attorney Tim Parlatore also resigned from the Justice Department probe in May, calling the move \u201cpersonal\u201d and not a reflection of his \u201cbelief in the strength of the case,\u201d though Parlatore has remained a loyal defender of the ex-president. Trump\u2014who pleaded not guilty on Tuesday to 37 felony counts of mishandling sensitive government material and obstructing the Justice Department\u2019s investigation into his conduct\u2014is now being represented by attorneys Todd Blanche and Christopher Kise in the classified documents case. Blanche is also representing him in the Manhattan District Attorney\u2019s case in which he faces 34 counts of falsifying business records for allegedly orchestrating hush-money payments to women who claim they had affairs with him.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\">Tangent<\/h2>\n<p>Trump sued CNN in October, alleging the network \u201chas undertaken a smear campaign to malign the Plaintiff with a barrage of negative associations and innuendos,\u201d according to the complaint. The suit takes particular issue with CNN\u2019s use of the term \u201cBig Lie\u201d to refer to his unverified claims that he is the true winner of the 2020 presidential election and alleges CNN is \u201cpart of its concerted effort to tilt the political balance to the left.\u201d Trump also sued <em>The New York Times <\/em>in 2021 for publishing his tax records after Trump broke years of precedent set by previous presidents in refusing to release them, but a Manhattan Supreme Court judge dismissed the lawsuit in May and ordered Trump to pay legal expenses for the paper and its reporters. The suits are among many Trump has filed, or threatened to file, against news outlets over the years. His campaign also sued CNN, the <em>Washington Post <\/em>and the <em>Times <\/em>over opinion pieces they published, and his social media company, Trump Media, sued the <em data-ga-track=\"InternalLink:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/zacheverson\/2023\/05\/23\/trumps-social-media-business-sues-washington-post-seeking-38-billion-in-damages\/?sh=572d802275e0\">Post<\/em><em> <\/em>in May, claiming the paper falsely accused him of securities fraud.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><\/h2>\n<p>Jim Trusty Resigns: Here\u2019s A Timeline Of All The Trump Lawyers Who Have Quit (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Trump Couldn\u2019t Find New Lawyers For Arraignment, Reports Say (Forbes)<\/p>\n<p>Trump Sues CNN For Defamation In Latest Lawsuit Against Foe (Forbes)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/jonathanponciano\/2023\/06\/16\/trump-attorney-jim-trusty-quits-again-over-irreconcilable-differences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Topline Attorney Jim Trusty has resigned from representing former President Donald Trump in another case, citing \u201cirreconcilable differences,\u201d a move that comes days after he severed ties with Trump in his classified documents case in Florida\u2014raising speculation that he stepped down because Trump is notoriously hard to work for.
