Greg Harris, John Gasser and Deborah Barbier, all former federal prosecutors in private practice will join lead attorney Karl S. “Butch” Bowers in defending the former president in the impeachment trial scheduled to begin next month.

 

Additional lawyers could be named to the defense team in coming days. The selection so far marks a dramatic shift from Trump’s previous impeachment. During that Senate trial last year, Trump was defended by lawyers experienced on the national stage. They included Kenneth Starr, the former special prosecutor whose work led to Bill Clinton’s impeachment; Jay Sekulow, who had defended Trump previously; and Alan Dershowitz, a Harvard University law professor, known for his work in high-profile controversial cases.
