Days Before Impeachment Trial, Trump Names New Lawyers

VOA News

   Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced Sunday a new team of
   lawyers to lead his defense at his second impeachment trial.

   Defense lawyer David Schoen, a frequent television legal commentator,
   and Bruce Castor, a former district attorney in Pennsylvania who has
   faced criticism for his decision to not charge actor Bill Cosby in a
   sex crimes case, will represent Trump at the Senate trial that begins
   next week.

   In a statement issued through Trump's office, both attorneys said
   Sunday they were honored to take the job.

   "The strength of our Constitution is about to be tested like never
   before in our history. It is strong and resilient. A document written
   for the ages, and it will triumph over partisanship yet again, and
   always,"Castor said.
