Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, who were supposed to be two of the top lawyers, are no longer on the team. A source familiar with the changes said it was a mutual decision for both to leave the legal team.
“Democrats’ efforts to remove a president who has already stepped down are totally unconstitutional and very bad for our country. In fact, 45 senators have already voted that it is unconstitutional. We did a lot of work, but we didn’t make a final decision on our legal team, which will be formed soon, “former Trump campaign advisor Jason Miller told CNN.
Bowers, a respected attorney from Columbia, South Carolina, has previously served in President George W. Bush’s Department of Justice.
Barbier, a litigator from South Carolina, worked closely on several important cases and was a former federal prosecutor for 15 years in the state before opening her own criminal defense firm.
