Right up until the day Donald Trump’s federal indictment was unsealed, the legal team tasked with defending him was engaged in petty internal feuds — including fights over TV appearances, accusations of disloyalty, and even a so-called “coup,” three people familiar with the situation, as well as others on or close to Trump’s legal defense, tell Rolling Stone.

Donald Trump isn’t the only individual to be indicted in the Justice Department’s probe into the former president’s handling of classified documents. Trump revealed on Friday that one of his aides, Walt Nauta, has also been charged.
“I have just learned that the ‘Thugs’ from the Department of Injustice will be indicting a wonderful man, Walt Nauta, a member of the U.S. Navy, who served proudly with me in the White House, retired as Senior Chief, and then transitioned into private life as a personal aide,” Trump wrote.

Donald Trump’s legal team is requesting an in-person meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland to discuss the special counsel investigation into the former president.
Trump posted the letter — addressed to Garland and signed by attorneys John Rowley and James Trusty — to Truth Social on Tuesday night. “Unlike President Biden, his son Hunter, and the Biden family, President Trump is being treated unfairly,” the letter reads. “No President of the United States has ever, in the history of our country, been baselessly investigated in such an outrageous and unlawful fashion.

Former President Donald Trump said FBI agents executed an unannounced raid Monday at Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida.
