Trump hires former Florida solicitor general in criminal probe of Mar-a-Lago documents

I seriously doubt that Corcoran or Bobb will be around much longer? They are both in deep doo-doo. Also, interesting that Putin's pal, Boris Epshteyn, continues to serve as "top legal adviser".

Kise’s exact title is unclear. Boris Epshteyn continues to serve as a top legal adviser to Trump and de facto in-house counsel who helped hire attorneys Jim Trusty and Evan Corcoran.

Over the course of a year, the case that began as a records dispute with the National Archives metastasized into a full-blown criminal investigation that led to the FBI’s unprecedented search and seizure of numerous classified documents and secret records. Trump maintains the search was unjustified and he was legally in possession of the documents, a defense many legal experts dispute.

Trusty and Corcoran, who do not live in Florida, are expected to stay on the team for now, but those who understand prosecutions involving classified and sensitive records say Trump might need specialized counsel familiar with criminal cases involving classified documents if he’s indicted.
