With his impeachment trial looming in just nine days, former president Trump announced he had a new team of lawyers on Sunday, including David Schoen, who met with disgraced businessman and paedophile Jeffrey Epstein about representing him before his death. The move comes the day after it was reported five members of the president’s impeachment team had left.
Schoen will be joined by attorney Bruce L. Castor, Jr.
“It is an honor to represent the 45th President, Donald J. Trump, and the United States Constitution,” Schoen, who was already helping Mr Trump prepare for the Senate trial, said in a statement.
