About a week before the United States Senate began hearing Trump’s impeachment case, CNN cited sources who reported that five members of Trump’s attorneys jumped off the boat and left, including Chief Attorney Bao. Butch Bowers, the main reason the lawyer jumped off the boat was that he could not focus his defense arguments on voter fraud in accordance with Trump’s expectations. Instead, the lawyers wanted to focus on the argument that impeachment of an outgoing president was illegal.
The United States Senate is about to begin hearing the impeachment case of former President Trump beginning the week of February 8. However, CNN cited sources that pointed out that the two main protagonists of Trump’s defense attorneys, both are South Carolina attorneys Bowers and Deborah. Barbier (Deborah Barbier), who specializes in white collar crime, has left the team and Bowers is responsible for organizing the team of lawyers.
In addition to these two key players, attorneys such as Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris from South Carolina, and attorney Josh Howard from North Carolina have left the team.
According to one source, the lawyers’ request to go was primarily due to disagreements with Trump. Trump asked the lawyers to focus on the current presidential election, which is rife with large-scale electoral fraud and stolen elections. As for whether or not it is illegal to impeach an outgoing president, the source noted that Trump does not accept the advice of lawyers.
These attorneys are reported to have not received any advance payment or signed a letter of intent to cooperate.
According to the National Public Radio (NPR) report, compared to the list of star attorneys like former New York Governor Rudy Giuliani, the attorneys who defended Trump’s second impeachment trial are relatively less well known. They all come from small businesses. In stark contrast to the previous gold lineup.
The report noted that Bowers, 55, is a highly respected attorney. He served in the Department of Justice during the presidency of George W. Bush; Babil has handled many high-profile cases. He previously served as a South Carolina federal prosecutor for 15 years.
It was previously reported that the Trump camp was struggling to find lawyers for the second impeachment case. Some lawyers refused to participate in the congressional riots and some suspected they were not paid.
It is unclear how many attorneys remain in Trump’s attorneys.
