Trump Bolsters Defense Team with White-Collar Attorney Ahead of NYC Arraignment.
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump has added Todd Blanche, a former federal prosecutor, to his legal defense team a day before he is set to surrender to face charges related to a hush-money payment. Blanche will work alongside Susan R. Necheles and Joseph Tacopina, who have been representing Trump in the Manhattan district attorney's investigation. Blanche has a reputation as an aggressive but measured advocate and has represented Boris Epshteyn, a top adviser to Trump. He also represented Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chairman, after the Manhattan district attorney's office indicted him on charges of mortgage fraud and other state felonies in 2019.
