Former U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday he had canceled a press conference scheduled for next week to release a report into the 2020 election in Georgia, saying his attorneys would put his arguments in court filings instead.
Trump said earlier this week that he would hold the press conference on Monday to release a detailed, 100-page report into what he described as “election fraud” in the state of Georgia during the 2020 election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
How does he even still has lawyers given not only his problematic persona, but also his tendency of not paying his lawyers?
He’s paying them 30-50% of his campaign funds. It also must be a reputation builder. They get to argue in Federal Court, and if they lose all they have to do is point to the fact that it’s Donald Trump. Who is a criminal.

Well, unless they are complete morons (looking at you Rudy) they are requiring payment in advance.
Retainers are pretty common. I don’t know how other attorneys got screwed.
Are retainers common when dealing with the wealthy? Honest question.
No idea, but any lawyer who represents Trump and doesn’t demand cash up front deserves what they get.
Not to mention they’ve also got a tendency to be indicted themselves.
