Trump may defend himself at impeachment trial -- to save himself money on lawyers: report

On Saturday night, CNN dropped a bombshell report that Donald Trump lost all five of his impeachment lawyers -- with just over a week to go before his second impeachment trial.

Legal experts were mystified as to what might happen next, and joked that Trump could serve as his own defense.

"Trump can always choose to rep himself at impeachment," former federal prosecutor Elie Honig tweeted.

Former SDNY U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara also noted that was an option.

"Self-representation would be great for ratings," Bharara predicted.

The jokes may actually come true.

Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times White House correspondent Maggie Haberman noted on Twitter that Trump has been considering skipping representation.
