The President will be represented by the co -chair and partner of Sullivan Cromwell Robert J. Giuffra Jr.

Giubfra has been in the firm since 1989 after serving as Secretary of Lawyers of the Judge in Chief of the Supreme Court of the United States, William Rehnquist. Giuffra is currently focusing on titles, white -neck criminal, product responsibility, commercial, insurance, banking and tax litigation.

Trump will also be represented by Matthew Schwartz, a firm partner who joined in 2007 after the secretary of Judge Samuel Alito; Jeffrey Wall, another member of the United States -General, and has discussed more than 30 cases in the United States Supreme Court; James McDonald, a member who served as an assistant lawyer in the southern New York district; and Morgan Ratner, a partner who has discussed nine cases before the United States Supreme Court and served at the lawyer -general lawyer’s office.

Fox News Digital has learned that Boris Epshteyn, Trump’s highest legal advisor, continues his role as a superior counselor, coordinating a wide range of legal fronts and issues for the president.

“The appeal of President Donald J. Trump is important for the rule of law, New York’s reputation as a global commercial, financial and legal center, as well as for the presidency and all public officials,” Giuffra told Fox News Digital. “The misuse of criminal law by Manhattan DA to guide President Trump establishes a dangerous precedent and we hope that the case will be rejected in appeal.”

The change occurs after President played his former lawyers on cases with the most important roles of his administration.

Trump appointed his lawyer Todd Blanche to serve as an assistant Attorney General and John Sauer as a general lawyer in the United States.

Emil Bove, also a Trump’s lawyer, played a more important role in the Department of Justice, plays as an acting Attached Attorney General, but if Blanche confirms, Bove will act as the main attachment general prosecutor.

Will Scharf, who also represented the president in these cases, was designated as a staff secretary at the White House.

Blanche, Sauer, Bove and Scharf successfully defended the President in the investigations of the ex -special lawyer Jack Smith on January 6, 2021 and alleged interference in the 2020 elections, as well as in his case of classified records.

Sauer argued the case on presidential immunity before the United States Supreme Court, leading to the high court to rule that presidents have immunity for non -official presidential events.

The case of Smith’s classified records was rejected in July 2024 by the United States District Court for the Southern Florida district, Judge Aileen Cannon, who ruled that Smith was illegally designated as a special lawyer.

Smith accused Trump of the United States District Court for Washington, DC, in his 2020 election case, but after Trump was elected President, Smith tried to dismiss the case. Judge Tanya Chutkan granted this request.

Both cases were rejected.

The new legal team will assume Trump’s appeals in both Bragg and James.

Trump was sentenced in early January by Judge Juan Merchan to an unconditional low after being found guilty by accusation of falsifying business records. Merchan did not condemn the President in prison, but did not impose any punishment at all, neither prison time, fines or probation.

Regarding the case of James against Trump, New York Judge Arthur Engoron, “conspiracy to falsify fake financial statements”, “insurance fraud” and “conspiracy to commit insurance fraud”.

But before the trial began, Engoron issued a summary sentence against Trump, which made the subsequent judgment a case about the penalty that was paid.
