Kendra Wharton, who previously served as a personal attorney for former President Donald Trump, has entered a new legal engagement by representing Democratic political operative Colin Strother. The move comes as Strother prepares for his upcoming sentencing hearing, scheduled for November 17, following his guilty plea to charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering.

In public statements regarding the case, Wharton has criticized the Department of Justice, alleging that the agency has not treated her client fairly throughout the legal process. While Wharton is leveraging her background in high-profile legal work to advocate for Strother, the transition from representing a former Republican president to a Democratic operative has drawn attention due to the stark political contrast between her past and current clients.

There is currently no information regarding the specific arguments Wharton intends to present at the sentencing hearing or how the Department of Justice has responded to her claims of unfair treatment. The case remains focused on the sentencing phase, with the legal team preparing to address the court regarding the conspiracy charges to which Strother has already admitted guilt.
