The former president's public statements are already diverging from the advice of his newest lawyer, John Lauro.
The former president’s public statements are already diverging from the advice of his newest lawyer, John Lauro.
“We haven’t made a final decision on that issue at all,” Lauro said on a podcast hosted by Florida defense attorney David Markus. “I think as lawyers we have to be very careful of those issues and handle them with the utmost delicacy.” Lauro, the newest member of Trump’s team, is working with attorney Todd Blanche on the latest criminal case: charges that Trump conspired to derail the transfer of power to Joe Biden after the 2020 election. But already, Trump has tested Lauro’s public advice in a few ways — primarily by talking about the case at all, and often in incendiary ways.
Lauro’s comments were among the most revealing on a daylong media tour in which he sought to sketch out Trump’s defense in the case. He said he prefers to be a ubiquitous media presence because it helps inject the defense perspective into news reporting on complex issues. “The political piece is in play to some extent. … It’s more of whether or not you’re facing this roadblock of bias and whether the community you’re trying the case in front of is affected by the case in an emotional, passionate way, which certainly Washington, D.C. was.”
