Former President Donald Trump has replaced his top Georgia lawyer ahead of his surrender Thursday evening, sources tell CNN.

Drew Findling, the lawyer who has led Trump’s defense in Georgia, is being replaced by Steven Sadow, an Atlanta-based attorney whose website profile describes him as a “special counsel for white collar and high-profile defense.”

    Findling is a self-proclaimed liberal whose prior social media posts criticizing Trump quickly drew media attention.

    The former guy didn’t like the optics of being represented by a liberal. Optics is everything for him.

        I doubt he cares about politics, but he does care about his image so it’s plausible. I personally think it’s because he wants yes men, someone pitched an idea to him and his lawyer probably told him it’s a bad idea and he had to be replaced.
