The Supreme Court case is fast approaching. On Tuesday, February 9, the trial of former President Donald Trump will begin in the Senate, for which he attracted attention this weekend when Trump suddenly separated from the lawyers of his defense team.
A total of five attorneys resigned, according to the Washington Post: Butch Bowers, an ethicist and campaign law expert, and three former federal prosecutors: Deborah Barbier, Johnny Gasser and Geregory Harris, in addition to attorney Josh Howard.
I disagree in defense
Storavis: the cause of defense collapse
According to several US media, the reason for the collapse of Trump’s defense is the disagreement on the defense strategy.
Two sources familiar with the case told NBC News that at least three lawyers divorced Trump after he asked them to focus on the voter fraud allegations as part of his defense strategy in the Supreme Court case.
Trump wanted his original team to argue that he won the election and pass his unsubstantiated accusations that the election was rigged, writes NBC News, which further claims that lawyers were not comfortable with “reinforcing” misinformation.
Must lead Trump’s new team
On Sunday night, it was announced that David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor will lead Trump’s new defense team.
However, according to the leading newspaper The New York Times, Trump’s new lawyers will not focus on allegations of voter fraud by former presidents.
The electoral promise that was a dip
Storavisa refers to people close to Trump’s new defense team, and now writes that Schoen and Castor will hardly focus on allegations of voter fraud.
– I won’t accept it
Instead, the two lawyers will build their defense around the argument that a Supreme Court case against an early president is unconstitutional, according to Storavisa. An argument that has already occurred to several Republicans.
Avisa claims several Trump aides have told Trump that it is “reckless” to point to allegations of voter fraud during the Supreme Court case.
“I’m not in this case for that,” Schoen said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Monday, according to the newspaper.
This should catch Trump
The Washington Post also writes that Schoen has said he will not build the defense around allegations of voter fraud.
Trump has not repeated his baseless allegations of election fraud. Several lawsuits also did not benefit his campaign. Joe Biden has been installed as the 46th President of the United States and Trump moved out of the White House on the same day.
– You must be prepared
The fact that Trump separates teams of lawyers so close to the Supreme Court case describes Norm Eisen, a lawyer who acted as a co-advisor to the Democrats during Trump’s first Supreme Court case, as a “disaster.”
– This is a total disaster. These are real trials, even if they take place in the Senate, and I can tell you that the defense team must be prepared for what is to come, Eisen told The Washington Post.
He believes the decision suggests that the lawyers faced an ethical problem.
Strongly disagree
– It is very unpleasant to leave a client before a trial, unless the client puts him in an impossible situation.
He believes that the lawyers were unwilling to expose themselves to the consequences that could arise after defending Trump’s false accusations.
Other strategy
Trump has repeatedly said he wanted to focus on allegations of voter fraud and that he wanted a more public defense of his actions, even though his allies and lawyers have said he should focus on making the case unconstitutional.
That Trump parted ways with his former defenders should have been a mutual decision, and the president should have wanted a different approach. Trump’s spokesman, Jason Miller, has stated that the allegations that the former president will focus on electoral fraud in the Supreme Court are “fake news.”
Must answer
The new political battle plan
Trump is accused of inciting violence against the US government by claiming that cheating led to him losing the November presidential election.
The indictment accuses the president of asking people to take physical measures to prevent the Senate from approving Joe Biden as the next president of the United States, and thus having contributed directly to the takeover of Congress on January 6.
Today, the former president has until 12 o’clock American time to respond to the summons to the Supreme Court case.
At the end of the day, the House of Representatives, serving as the prosecution, should have presented its investigation as well.
Before the attack on Congress, which killed five people, Trump spoke to thousands of supporters. He asked them to march to Congress and told them that “we will never give up and we will never acknowledge the loss of the elections.”
Trump is described in the indictment as a threat to the nation’s security, democracy and constitution while he was president. If Trump is found guilty, it is too late to oust him as he has already resigned. But a new vote can be carried out when the result may be that he is refused to stand for election in the future.
