Democrats have already prepared a framework for the impeachment case. But with a major upheaval in the legal profession, Trump is struggling to prepare his answer.
His new legal team is led by lawmakers David Schwein and Bruce Castor. But they have more than a week to prepare for Trump's impeachment trial in the Senate.
Democrats have accused Trump of "inciting rebellion," but there are still doubts about whether he can be convicted in the Senate. Democrats are accused of inciting Trump supporters to attack the Capitol in an attempt to block recognition of Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election. Five people, including police, were killed in the attack.
At least 17 of the 50 Republicans in the upper house must side with Democrats to convict the outgoing president.
Even if Trump is convicted, this trial will not have much effect on the power structure of the United States. Because after the transfer of power at the end of the January 20 term, Trump is no longer in the power structure of the country. But what will happen is that Trump will never again run for president or government position.
The impeachment hearing of the former president is set to begin on February 9 in the upper house of the US Congress.
