Former President Trump has begun crafting a strategy with his impeachment lawyer but is struggling to find other attorneys to join his team, sources say

Bowers -- a respected lawyer from Columbia, South Carolina, who once worked in the Justice Department under President George W. Bush -- has been in conversation with Trump in recent days, according to two people familiar with the matter. Bowers was connected to Trump by Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican who is also helping to add new lawyers to the team.

Biden tells CNN Trump's impeachment trial 'has to happen'Charlie Condon, a former South Carolina attorney general who now works in private practice in Charleston, has been approached about joining the legal team, two people familiar with the matter said. In a brief statement to CNN on Monday evening, Condon wrote:"I am not representing former President Trump. Thanks.

They better get their money up front.

Remember he is going up against Pelosi and Schumer. This will be a cakewalk, again!! CNN is the enemy of the American people!!

Hope he got paid up front

What is the defense? Trump didn’t say, write or tweet thousands of times that the election was “stolen”? Trump didn’t tweet “Big protest in DC on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!”? That he, and his surrogates, had nothing to do with the Jan 6th rally?

The moment you expose Trump for the real bad things he's done is the moment you and the Democrats get exposed in return

Lies

Best of Luck to Him lol. NO ONE wants to associate themselves with him ROFL.

Would you want to represent him?

As a Republican, I supported the impeachment in the House and support conviction in the Senate. He committed the most heinous crime against our nation and our democracy while serving as president. If this doesn’t warrant prosecution, don’t know what does.

Giuliani is waiting in the wings with his WD40 hairspray.

CNN you have been successful to oust Trump but can u be successful to impeach him. If u can, the slogan should be 'media rules American politics'

I guess if they are successful in an impeachment it will set precedence for other past presidents to be impeached. Look out Obama you’re next👏👏

So nobody wants to be associated with a traitor that doesn't pay his bills... to quote Jackie Chiles: I'm shocked and chagrined, mystified and mortified

No one wants to represent that lying colostomy bag😂

CNN needs to educate American people about the cost of these impeachments and how the last fake one should have been reimbursed to the American people in the real world if you take somebody to court on Fake accusations you pay the court cost why do the taxpayers keep paying

'In case you can't afford an attorney. One will be appointed'. He can afford one he just doesn't pay them.

Smart lawyers passing on this!!!

indefensible

Who wants to work with a liar? 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Dont matter, they are all getting away with it unless we vote them out in 2 years we r stuck with the whole cult.

Need i say more.....

Is anyone surprised? I mean which selfrespecting lawyer would defend him? Even moscow Mitch clearly stated he was guilty. I mean every argument they would make would be a bad faith argument and a lie. Defending trump could be career ending.

Trump has no money, is he going to pay his lawyers with free golf.

Oh LAWD ! WHEN WHEN WHEN ? Will dude be ...way back then ...HISTORY?

CNN “inciting hate” 24/7

I told him, 'Hey, but you called my country a shithole. Nope.'... I haven't picked their calls since then.

Do people still watch CNN and if so why. It’s for sale and nobody wants it for obvious reasons. 🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳

He’s radioactive. No one wants to come near him. And they shouldn’t.

Is it really going to matter? If a video of everything is not enough for republicans it’s over

Probably fire him tomorrow 🤪

What about Harvey Birdman?

No respected lawyer would take the chance and risk not getting paid. The guy is a shister.

His lawyer will need to take him to court in order to get paid 💰. Trump will not pay him.

Pariah: any person or animal that is generally despised or avoided. In the dictionary, next to Trump's face.

They are worried about payment lol Rudy is not reliable because he did nothing in the last 60 cases plus he is trying to come up with 1 billion for the lawsuit

You can’t stop talking about out great President Trump 🤣🤣🤣

The want him to pay in advance ...

I'm sure they are NOT LINING UP FOR THAT JOB.

If he let's JennaEllisEsq lick his feet, she will be his lawyer 🤣

No one is going to risk their reputation for him says a lot of the case

You are so BOGUS

The reasons Trump can’t find attorneys to join his team, I’m sure the attorneys are worried about getting paid and how to create an allusion of truth to the millions of witnesses.

No Money No Help

SoUrCeS.. Your news network is a joke.

What sources?

How about this guy:

Just like he “crafted” his election fraud lawsuit strategy? Trump’s never crafted anything in his life, he’s always flying by the seat of his pants.

this to the dems is more about making sure he cant run again verses him actually being guilty of something. he didnt have any suggesting actions to make him guilty.

No one wants to be a part of his lies anymore

He couldnt craft a popsicle trivit let alone a case

I love the Trump can’t talk about this on Twitter.

Y los pusilánimes medios siguen atacando y matoneando al Presidente realDonaldTrump, pero, como le esta pasando a nytimes que ya va de para abajo en la favorabilidad de los lectores...esperen un poquito y verán como siguen bajando.

Trump needs to be held accountable for the cost of the riot on our capital

Convict! 5 dead people. Capital torn up ! Enormous damage. Trump needs to be Convicted As Sasse said- he was laughing. He enjoyed it. He refused to call for help. He wanted - them hurt He wanted them dead. CONVICT! him No consequences no change. Impeach, convict, Sue, Bankrupt!!

I’m shocked

Jr and Eric...slam dunk!

🕊🇪🇭🕊🇪🇭🕊🇪🇭🕊🇪🇭🤣🇪🇭💪🏻💪💪🏽💪🏼

PURE CNN FAKE NEWS. Money talks clowns. Big money talks LOUDER

They should get paid upfront.

Why are you talking?

Even Attorneys in Georgia don't want anything to do with Peaches

🤡

Hard to hire the new guy when the world knows you haven't paid the old one.

Trump is not president anymore this story means nothing. Report on something that matters like Keystone XL and the potential job losses with it's cancellation.

Poor baby!

Pariah!

Impeached from what, isn’t Biden the current POTUS ? This wreaks of desperation, defaming Trump AFTER he has left office. There is a method to this madness, a futile attempt to disband his following.

No representative necessary. Only a select few can and if found guilty will merely be a blemish on the false accusations that DON PAID PEOPLE TO DO THIS! that is so wrong misleading and he allowed his citizens be patriotic while vice, secretary and Chuck determined the tubman 20!

Well, ain’t that just a dam shame!

President Trump has over 1000 attorneys wanting to represent him.

Saying he is crafting a strategy is like saying that a toddler building sand castles is implementing infrastructure reform.

CNN needs to get a f’ing life. My God! Put a different topic. 4 years of this BS

Why does he need lawyers when the Senate isn’t going to convict.

Welcome to America

BetterCallSaul

OperationTimberSycamore CNNPresstitutes

Beware lawyers, he thinks it’s all quid pro quo, which means he’s not going to pay you.

Most top lawyers don't take rubles.

🖕🏽😡🖕🏽💯tRUMP!

RudyGiuliani

Sure

CNN wants to shut down free speech. And more. Clearly, they think their viewers are idiots. Hard to argue otherwise.

We don’t CARE!

the Al Bundy of presidents

Sources lol

CNN doesn’t know what it’s fucking saying half the time

I'll work for the publicity and the opportunity to state 'my client is too stupid to commit a crime' in front of congress! Can someone who knows Trump and still has access to twitter send him my CV?

How can anyone defend his actions? There are no two sides to this. ConvictAndDisqualify

CNN is struggling to make news without trump as biden is not doing much other than changing the face in $20 bills which is fine . jack jaketapper I think the HQ in Atlanta will just implode one day . Nobody likes their fake & slanted anti Trump news . Who cares about the trial

Any attorney who defends him, they will never get another client. They will only be able to defend his sicko followers. Normal people will distance themselves from these attorneys

Art of the Deal tip 21: Treat your vendors badly, and it won't take an insurgency to get them to ditch you

Hahahahaha

Maybe one of those 50 Republican Senators without a spine will do it pro-Bono being as they are still sucking him off every chance they get. 🙄

What happens if he can’t get an attorney? Does he have to represent himself?

Don't care !

L-O-S-E-R

Hahahahaha

'begun crafting a strategy' Oh CNN. So embarrassing of you,
