Trump's team spoke with a number of attorneys over the weekend, but it's still unclear who the former president will officially hire to represent him in the Florida trial.
Trump's team has reached out to Florida-based lawyers and firms to gauge their interest in joining them, several sources tell CNN.
After Trump's legal representatives withdrew, the former president needs an attorney admitted to practice in the Southern District of Florida for the impeachment.
Trump has struggled to retain experienced lawyers as he faces an increasingly complex web of legal issues, and some firms are reluctant to take Trump on as a client because of concerns about reputational impacts and alienating other clients.
On Friday, in a significant shakeup of Trump's legal team, his top lawyers Jim Trusty and John Rowley resigned and Trump announced the addition of Blanche to the classified documents case. Blanche was hired in April after Trump was indicted in Manhattan and appeared with him during his trial on charges stemming from the hush money scheme.
Trump is expected to travel to Miami on Monday to meet with his lawyers ahead of his indictment on 37 counts related to the alleged misuse of classified documents and national security secrets.
