Donald Trump’s “hush money” casemarks the first criminal trial of any former president.
Instead, Trump’s lead lawyers for this criminal trial are Todd Blanche and Susan Necheles.
Here’s what we know about these seasoned criminal defense lawyers.

And he may have already found himself on the judge’s bad side.
Not what a lawyer wants to hear.
Necheles has had some relatively high-profile clients before, though none as big as Trump.

She represented Venero Mangano, aka “Benny Eggs,” a high-ranking member of the Genovese crime family.
Necheles is now Managing Partner at NechelesLaw LLP.
We’re guessing that’s the kind of results that Trump might be hoping to get from Necheles.

Time will tell what she and Todd Blanche can deliver.
