Former President Donald Trump has made a major change to his legal team as he prepares to face the 13 charges connected to a conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia. Replacing his longtime lawyer, Drew Findling, is attorney Steve Sadow, who is most famous for representing rapper Gunna in his 2022 RICO trial.
Trump is expected to surrender to the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta on Thursday, Aug. 24. According to ABC News, Sadow is well-known for his work with high-profile clients including Usher, Rick Ross, Ray Lewis, and T.I. In a statement released following his hiring, Sadow said, “I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case. The President should never have been indicted. He is innocent of all the charges brought against him. We look forward to the case being dismissed or, if necessary, an unbiased, open-minded jury finding the President not guilty.”
The former reality TV star and celebrated businessman’s decision to hire Sadow to represent him in this case comes as a surprise as Findling had been working on the case for the past few years. At this time, no other changes have been made to the team.
Trump is not the only one facing charges in this investigation. 19 people in total have been charged in connection with attempts to overturn the 2020 election, including former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, former senior campaign staffer Michael Roman, and Georgia state Sen. Shawn Still. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has been leading the investigation for the past two years and has set a noon deadline on Aug. 25 for all those charged to turn themselves in.
