With Impeachment Trial Looming, Trump Loses Bulk of His Legal Team
Reports cited a rather ominous reason for the breakup.
Donald Trump has already gone down in history of being the only President to ever be impeached twice, and he may just find himself earning another dubious honor before the whole thing’s over still.
You see, if Trump is convicted at his Senate trials, which begins in less than two weeks, he’ll could also become the first Commander in Chief to be barred from ever holding office in the United States ever again.
Now, as this very real danger lurks, Trump is out fishing for new legal help.
Former President Donald Trump and his legal team parted ways a little more than a week before his impeachment trial was scheduled to begin in the Senate on a charge that he incited the riot at the Capitol earlier this month, according to a report.
Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, noted for defending a slew of South Carolina politicians, pulled out of Trump’s team on Saturday, along with former federal prosecutors Greg Harris, Johnny Gasser and Josh Howard, Fox News reported on Sunday.
The report cited a source who said it was a mutual decision over the direction of the defense argument.
The House impeached Trump on Jan. 13 on a charge of “incitement of an insurrection” with 10 Republicans, including Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming, crossing the aisle to vote with Democrats.
The trial, which begins on February 9th, runs the risk of wasting a lot of time for the Biden administration, with a litany of legislators being tied up in the proceedings during No. 46’s crucial first 100 days.
