The 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, lost the lawyers who were supposed to defend him in the impeachment case, reports CNN. This happened because of disagreements over the line of defense: Trump wanted the lawyers to build arguments that pointed to massive fraud during the vote.
Five lawyers for the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump, who were supposed to defend him in the impeachment case, left him just over a week before the trial began. This was announced by the CNN television channel, citing sources.
Attorneys Butch Bowers, Deborah Barbier, Josh Howard, Johnny Gasser and Greg Harris have left Trump’s advocates on a line of defense.
A person familiar with the situation said Trump wanted lawyers to discuss massive vote manipulation rather than focus on whether the president’s conviction after leaving office was legal.
Trump has been reluctant to discuss how they should proceed in this regard. The attorneys have not yet received any advance payment and therefore the letter of intent has not yet been signed.
Jason Miller, a former Trump campaign adviser, said the former president’s legal team would be formed shortly.
Trump faces impeachment for the events of January 6, when he urged his supporters to go to the Congress building, where at that time Joe Biden was to be declared the winner of the election. As a result, protesters stormed the Congress building. The riots killed five people among them there is a police officer Capitol, and in Washington, for that, they announced state of emergency.
After that, the House of Representatives, the lower house of the United States Congress, in a meeting on January 13, voted to impeach Trump. The authors of the resolution brought a charge against him: incitement to riots.
The resolution did not make it to the Senate until January 19, when the last meeting of the upper house of Congress took place before Biden’s inauguration. Since January 20, Trump is no longer president of the United States. However, if he is found guilty, the Senate can vote again and take away his right to hold any federal office, that is, prohibit him from running for president again. Also, if convicted, Trump will be deprived of presidential benefits.
On January 25, the House of Representatives passed a resolution to the Senate impeaching Trump.
