Two lawyers for former US President Donald Trump resigned their mandate. Trump will have to answer for the illegal storage of secret documents next Tuesday.
His case will be heard by Todd Blanche, a lawyer who represents him in a separate case in New York. The surprise announcement by Trump's lawyers could lead to further legal complications. He also announced that his former adviser Walt Nauta had been indicted as part of the investigation into the handling of classified documents from the White House. The trial is also likely to cause chaos in the US Republican election campaign.
