    several attorneys declined to take him as a client.

    and

    Trump has also seemingly been unable to find a specialist national security lawyer, eligible to possess a security clearance

    good luck clearing those charges without experts.

      Ladies and gentlemen, let me just say, this courtroom, tremendous courtroom, it’s really fantastic, okay? Nobody’s ever seen a courtroom like this before, believe me. And I must say, I’ve been to a lot of courtrooms, folks. Many courtrooms, lots of them.

      Now, I know what you’re all thinking: “Why is the greatest businessman in the world standing in front of you today?” Well, let me tell you, it’s all a big misunderstanding. Huge, tremendous misunderstanding. They say I’m being accused of being too charismatic, too charming, and too good-looking. Can you believe that? It’s a real witch hunt, folks. Sad!

    I feel like someone who has the necessary experience and clearance isn’t going to want to throw that away on case which they will lose and likely be asked to put that clearance at risk by their client within the first 5 minutes.
