Mark Zaid, an attorney representing the person who filed a complaint against President Donald Trump, defended his tweets calling for a “coup” against the president even as Trump cited the missives as evidence that the impeachment inquiry is a “hoax” and “should be ended immediately.”
Zaid, who claims to be nonpartisan, wrote in early 2017 that a “coup” against Trump “has started,” and that “rebellion” would come, to be followed by “impeachment.”
