Former President Donald Trump has lost two attorneys who were expected to play a major role in his trial defense at his second impeachment trial.
"With a little more than a week before his impeachment trial is set to begin, President Trump's legal team is up in the air. Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, who were expected to be two of the lead attorneys, are no longer on the team, Gloria Borger and I are told," CNN's Kaitlan Collins reported Saturday evening.
Borger, CNN's chief political analyst, said attorney Butch Bowers has "gone in to this it trial knowing that he's likely to win, because of the votes we've seen on the floor already. So what would make an attorney leave a case that he knew he was bound to succeed at? You know, my answer to that... is saving your own reputation, that's something that you feel is unethical or don't want to do."
