  + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Jacqueline Thomsen | Thomson Reuters | Based In Washington | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
REUTERS/Andrew KellyMarch 31 (Reuters) - Representing Donald Trump, who is now under indictment in New York, is no easy job. Trump told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Monday, discussing the legal troubles some of his own attorneys have faced. Trump's long list of past attorneys includes former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who oversaw Trump's post-2020 election litigation. His New York law license was suspended in 2021 after a court said he made "demonstrably false and misleading" election fraud claims.

☆ Trump's legal troubles are threatening to upend the 2024 GOP race, and he's not even charged

Former President Donald Trump faces possible criminal charges as he's running for president. "If it's a circus, there's only one ringmaster and that's Trump," said GOP pollster B.J. Operatives thinking of ways to land punches on Trump say GOP primary candidates could argue that he would lose the general election because of his legal troubles. Political insiders widely concede that a potential indictment — and how Trump responds — could still backfire on GOP challengers and strengthen Trump. While the circumstances surrounding the 2024 primary are uncharted territory, polling shows a cohort of GOP voters has grown weary of Trump and is seeking an alternative.
☆ House Republicans are rallying to Trump's defense, but they're unlikely to be able to stop a possible indictment
  + stars: | 2023-03-20 | by ( Sonam Sheth | Oma Seddiq | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
House Republicans are demanding documents and testimony from Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg. It's the latest major step the GOP-led House has taken to defend Trump as he faces a possible criminal indictment. And without the backing of the Justice Department, it's unclear what consequences, if any, Congress can impose on Bragg's office. Yet while the lawmakers may have made valid criticisms, former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb said, the letter is "bad form." Monday's letter also comes after House Speaker Kevin McCarthy pledged to subject Bragg's office to congressional investigations in anticipation of a possible Trump indictment.
☆ White House aides were reportedly blindsided by AG Garland's appointment of a special counsel to investigate Biden

Many in the White House were blindsided when AG Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Biden, WaPo reported. The GOP has accused the special counsel Robert Hur of being partisan, but a former Trump lawyer disagreed, saying he's "smart and experienced." That's why many in the White House were blindsided, according to The Washington Post, when Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a special counsel to investigate Biden's mishandling of classified information. Republicans and Democrats alike have criticized the Biden White House for failing to disclose the existence of the DOJ's investigation for two months, despite having known about it since November. But Ty Cobb, who once served as Trump's White House counsel, dismissed those concerns.
☆ Biden's mishandling of classified records isn't as legally perilous as Trump's, but may pose serious national security risks

Trump's former White House lawyer told Insider that AG Garland should appoint a special counsel to investigate Biden. A source familiar with the matter told CNN that Lausch has finished the initial part of his investigation and presented his preliminary findings to Garland. Still, he criticized the White House for waiting more than two months to disclose the existence of the inquiry. "It appears that at least two of the aggravating factors, obstruction and willfulness, are present in the Trump case, but absent in the Biden case." Cobb, Trump's former White House counsel, went further, saying that drawing a distinction between the two cases is akin to "putting lipstick on a pig."
