Former President Trump on Sunday announced a new legal defense team for his Senate impeachment trial, a day after it was reported that his previous lead attorney and four others would no longer represent him.

Lawyers David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor Jr. will lead Trump’s defense against the accusations that he incited the riot at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, the former president announced.

The trial, in which Trump faces an article of impeachment charging incitement of insurrection, is slated to begin next month. Senate leaders agreed to wait until Feb. 9 to give the former president enough time to form a defense.

Schoen, a federal criminal defense lawyer, called it “an honor” to represent Trump “and the United States Constitution” in a press release. Castor, the former acting attorney general in Pennsylvania, similarly labeled his joining the team “a privilege.”

  1. So this gives him a ‘license’ to associate with a “Menuval” the likes of Trump. To perpetuate, & attempt to substantiate,
    in a Court of Law, the ridiculous lies & fantasies of the former President.
    The Kotzker Rebbe, obm, once pointed out, that of all the 365 Prohibitive Commandments, lying, or, perpetuating untruths is the only one which the Torah uses the stern term “Tirchak”; ‘Distance Yourself. See: Exodus; 23:7, “Keep thee far from a false matter”.
