Donald Trump will be represented at his impeachment trial by South Carolina lawyer Butch Bowers, who’s best known for helping save a former governor -- and eventual Trump foe -- from being removed from office following a scandal over an extramarital affair.
Trump adviser Jason Miller confirmed the hiring in a statement posted to Twitter on Thursday. The former president, who left office Wednesday after one term, will go on trial soon in the U.S. Senate after being impeached in the House for inciting an insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6 that led to five deaths.
