The two attorneys who will lead former President Donald Trump’s impeachment defense legal team, David Schoen and Bruce L. Castor Jr., are expected to argue that the Senate impeachment trial of the former president is unconstitutional.

Trump on Jan. 31 announced that Alabama attorney Schoen and Castor, a former prosecutor in Pennsylvania, will represent him in next week’s Senate trial, following media reports citing anonymous sources that said a group of attorneys from South Carolina were no longer participating in the defense.
