Arrested Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier picked a lawyer with powerful acquaintances in the White House and the Justice Department as he faces charges in the NBA gambling scandal .

Rozier’s lawyer Jim Trusty represented the president after the 2022 Mar-a-Lago raid in the Trump classified documents case and the January 6 cases that both imploded, as well as Trump’s defamation suit against CNN (a Florida judge tossed the suit against the network in 2023).

Trusty dropped off the cases in June 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences,” although Trump thanked him at the time and said he had been up against a “sick'” group of people. When he stepped down from the classified documents case, he was replaced by Todd Blanche, who is now the No. 2 at DOJ.
