Ladies and gentlemen, let me just say, this courtroom, tremendous courtroom, it's really fantastic, okay? Nobody's ever seen a courtroom like this before, believe me. And I must say, I've been to a lot of courtrooms, folks. Many courtrooms, lots of them.

Now, I know what you're all thinking: "Why is the greatest businessman in the world standing in front of you today?" Well, let me tell you, it's all a big misunderstanding. Huge, tremendous misunderstanding. They say I'm being accused of being too charismatic, too charming, and too good-looking. Can you believe that? It's a real witch hunt, folks. Sad!

He does have a pair of lawyers already.

top former federal prosecutor Todd Blanche and the former Florida solicitor general Chris Kise, according to people familiar with the matter.

What he's struggling with is finding someone who is an expert in national security law, can get a security clearance and is willing to represent him.

That makes a ton of sense lol that's a career ender very easily

A lawyer I guess.

Though Kise is expected to appear alongside Blanche in federal district court in Miami, he has primarily handled civil litigation for Trump since he came off the documents case last October and is not expected to be on the trial team proper, a person familiar with the matter said.
