Trump impeachment defense: two lawyers leave the team two weeks before the trial

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.

This is a last-minute story and will be updated.
