One of the lawyers fighting the Department of Justice on Donald Trump’s behalf was hired after the former president saw him on TV, according to a report.
The New York Times reported the detail on Sunday about the hiring of Jim Trusty, a former federal prosecutor. It cited unnamed people close to Trump for the information.
Trusty is one of several Trump lawyers countering attempts by the federal government to investigate his handling of government records after he left office, including the fallout of the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago which found a cache of highly-classified material.
Legal experts have, in the main, not been impressed with their efforts.
