WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump has parted ways with his lead impeachment lawyers just over a week before his Senate trial is set to begin, two people familiar with the situation said Saturday.

Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, both South Carolina lawyers, are no longer with Trump’s defense team. One of the people described the parting as a “mutual decision” that reflected a difference of opinion on the direction of the case. Both insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations.

One said new additions to the legal team were expected to be announced in a day or two.

I'm asking also but it's AP - They just reported a week or so ago Trump hired the Bowers guy now he is gone..

And this at the bottom ?

CNN was first to report the departure of the lawyers>

Well Trump hires and fires people more often than just about any President in history so I'd just assume it's legit.

Why didn’t he fire Wray, Barr, and Haspel? He might still be prez if he had.

I mean the dude supported Pence up until his downfall and then thanked him for his service as he was departing office. I'm not going to claim I know his motives.

Right - I always thought CNN got the news from AP not the other way around. That was the biggest red flag for me..

It's almost impossible to tell anymore. Is the Peach Mint even real and they are reporting he lost his legal team for it...hmmm My gut feeling is you are on the winning side of it though.
