WHAT WE KNOW:
(AP) Former President Donald Trump has parted ways with his lead impeachment lawyers little more than a week before his trial, two people familiar with the situation said Saturday. The change injects fresh uncertainty into the makeup and strategy of his defense team.

Trump Team:
Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier are no longer on Trump’s impeachment team, I’m told. Bowers, from SC, had been recommended by Sen. Graham. The team is still in limbo with just a little over a week until trial start.

Dem. efforts to impeach a pres. who has already left office is unconstitutional & so bad for our country. In fact, 45 Senators have already voted that it is unconstitutional. We have done much work, but have not made a final decision on our legal team, which will be made shortly. https://t.co/OQIugh0A8F

He is smart not to use any lawyer that Lindsey Graham recommends. Lindsey is not on his side
Stay away from Lindsey Graham. He is a part of the DS.
I agree, watch out for Lindsey and k.m. both have showed their true colors.Graham can see the writing on the wall if he doesn’t support Trump. K.M. is a coward/ weasel. I was witnessed this while in complete shock when Ted Cruz and the Rep from AZ wanted the election fraud in AZ.looked at.McCarthy refused to get up and clap for these 2 brave me. He slunk down on his seat ,looking around the room looking guilty until near the end of the standing ovation. I lost all respect for him then. Disgusting !
