Donald Trump: Former president appoints two new lawyers for impeachment trial one day after his defense team collapsed

A sticking point with his previous team was that Trump wanted lawyers to focus on his allegations of electoral fraud, rather than the constitutionality of convicting a former president.

First on CNN: Trump's impeachment defense team leaves less than two weeks before the trial

Trump has struggled to find lawyers willing to accept his case, as he refuses to give in to his allegations of electoral fraud, which has been a serious obstacle.

Trump’s advisers have been talking to him about his legal strategy and he continues to bring electoral fraud to his defense, as they repeatedly try to divert him from that, according to a source familiar with these discussions.

It is not clear whether Schoen and Castor will agree with what Trump wants.

“Schoen is already working with the 45th president and other advisers to prepare for the next trial, and both Schoen and Castor agree that this impeachment is unconstitutional – a fact with which 45 senators voted accordingly last week,” the statement said. .

This story is emerging and will be updated.
