Trump finds no new lawyers for court appearance in Mar-a-Lago case

Exclusive: Trump is expected to be represented by existing lawyers Todd Blanche and Chris Kise

Donald Trump is expected to be represented at his first court appearance to face federal criminal charges for retaining national security materials and obstruction of justice by two of his existing lawyers, despite trying to recruit a local Florida lawyer willing to join his legal defense team.

The lawyers making an appearance with Trump on Tuesday will be the top former federal prosecutor Todd Blanche and the former Florida solicitor general Chris Kise, according to people familiar with the matter. Trump's co-defendant, his valet Walt Nauta, will be represented by Stanley Woodward.
