Donald Trump's lawyers Jim Trusty and John Rowley have delivered their resignations to the former president, the pair confirmed to NPR in an emailed statement.

"We will no longer represent him on either the indicted case or the January 6 investigation," they wrote. "It has been an honor to have spent the last year defending him and we know he will be vindicated in his battle against the Biden Administration's partisan weaponization of the American justice system."

The two added that they had no plans to address the media concerning their withdrawals.

The news comes after Trusty made the rounds on cable television networks this morning, defending Trump on Fox News, NBC and CNN.
