As former President Donald Trump prepares for his upcoming impeachment trial, sources report that he is narrowing down his list of potential attorneys to join his legal team. This news comes after Trump was arraigned on charges of incitement of insurrection in connection with the January 6th Capitol riot.
According to reports, Trump has been meeting with several high-profile attorneys in recent weeks to discuss the possibility of joining his legal team. However, it appears that he is now honing in on a select few individuals who he believes will be able to mount a strong defense against the charges he is facing.
One of the attorneys reportedly being considered by Trump is David Schoen, a criminal defense lawyer based in Atlanta, Georgia. Schoen has experience representing clients in high-profile cases, including white-collar crime and political corruption cases. He has also worked on civil rights cases and has been involved in several high-profile cases involving police brutality.
Another attorney being considered by Trump is Bruce Castor Jr., a former district attorney from Pennsylvania. Castor gained national attention in 2005 when he declined to prosecute Bill Cosby on sexual assault charges. He has also represented several high-profile clients, including former NFL player Ray Rice.
Sources say that Trump is also considering adding Alan Dershowitz to his legal team. Dershowitz is a well-known attorney who has represented several high-profile clients, including O.J. Simpson and Jeffrey Epstein. He also served as a member of Trump’s legal team during his first impeachment trial.
While it remains unclear who exactly will be joining Trump’s legal team, it is clear that he is taking this trial seriously and is seeking out experienced attorneys who can mount a strong defense. The trial is set to begin on February 9th, and all eyes will be on the Senate as they decide whether or not to convict Trump on the charges he is facing.
Regardless of the outcome of the trial, it is clear that Trump’s legal team will play a crucial role in shaping the narrative surrounding the events of January 6th and the former president’s role in inciting the violence that occurred. As such, the selection of his attorneys is a decision that Trump is likely taking very seriously, and one that could have significant implications for his future.
