Former President Donald Trump revealed who will be representing him during his Senate Impeachment trial.
David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor, Jr. will lead Trump’s defense legal team.
“Notably Schoen has already been working with the 45th president and other advisors to prepare for the upcoming trial, and both Schoen and Castor agree that this Impeachment is unconstitutional – a fact 45 Senators voted in agreement with last week,” Trump’s team said in a statement.
Schoen added, “It is an honor to represent the 45th president, Donald J. Trump, and the United States Constitution.”
Castor continued, “I consider it a privilege to represent the 45th President. The strength of our Constitution is about to be tested like never before in our history. It is strong and resilient. A document written for the ages, and it will triumph over partisanship yet again, and always.”
A source said Trump parted ways with the two lead lawyers working on his defense on Saturday, as IJR reported.
Butch Bowers and Deborah Barberi were the two lawyers who left Trump’s team and the source claimed it was a “mutual decision.”
Another source said Josh Howard of North Carolina and Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris of South Carolina also left.
