Brian Kalt, a law professor at Michigan State, said Trump's attorneys misrepresented his findings, which favor impeaching officials after they've left office.

Trump's attorneys cited Kalt's work 15 times in the 78-pageto back up their argument that putting the former president on trial after he left office is unconstitutional. The Senate is expected to vote on the issue of constitutionality Tuesday, and the argument is expected to be the basis of their defense during Trump's trial, although it's an unpopular opinion among legal scholars.

In the filing, Trump's attorneys reference Kalt instead of the sources he cited for his article. In one spot, they cite Kalt in making the argument that"when a president is no longer in office the objective of an impeachment ceases."
