Donald Trump Fires His Atlanta Attorney, Swapping Lawyer Who Repped Gucci Mane for Gunna’s

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music On the morning of his surrender to authorities at Georgia’s Fulton County jail Thursday, former President Donald Trump replaced his attorney, moving from one experienced hip-hop lawyer to another: He swapped Drew Findling, who has represented Gucci Mane, Offset and others and is often called the “Billion Dollar Lawyer,” for Steve Sadow, who has worked with Rick Ross and recently got Gunna out of prison. “I have been retained to represent President Trump in the Fulton County, Georgia case,” Sadow said in a statement to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “The president should never have been indicted.

He is innocent of all the charges brought against him.” Trump was indicted by a Fulton grand jury earlier this month on 13 felony counts in conjunction with his efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.

Sadow formally notified Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee that he is Trump’s new lawyer on Thursday; Findling declined the paper’s requests for comment.

A veteran defense attorney, Sadow recently represented rapper Gunna (real name: Sergio Kitchens) who in December entered a guilty plea to one count of violating Georgia’s RICO act as part of a gang indictment against him and fellow rapper Young Thug, along with numerous alleged members of the YSL — for Young Slime Life — “gang.” Invoking the “Alford plea,” he maintained his innocence but accepted the punishment of a guilty verdict.
