Trump adviser Jason Miller, who announced the hiring on, said Bowers"is well respected by both Republicans and Democrats and will do an excellent job defending President Trump." Miller would not say whether others had signed on or whether Bowers would be the sole lawyer representing Trump.
Republican senators were briefed about Bowers' involvement on a GOP conference call Thursday afternoon, two people familiar with the discussions said. Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., mentioned that he had recommended Bowers to Trump, the sources said. Asked later about Trump's legal team, Graham told reporters:"Well, I think he's going to have a good one. Butch Bowers, I think, will be the sort of anchor tenant. But I've known Butch for a long time, solid guy. And I think over time, they'll put the team together."

Lawyer better get a good retainer. Trump does not like to pay his bills. Then there is the matter of the lawyer getting Trump's stink all over himself.
His lawyers should be paid up front.
He should demand he get paid upfront.

The defense team better get cash up front.
Those lawyers are not gonna get paid.
I hope he’s bankrupt in a year
some one's on tape saying WE are going to march down there Anyone that denies that should not be in Washington ... they have no grip on reality
One way or another Trump will turn the impeachment trial into a money-making scam, a circus.
For his sake, I hope he was pre-paid. On 2nd thought, he will deserve to not be paid.
Lawyers better get their money up front.
Another sham impeachment that’s wasting taxpayer money.

A lawyer called Butch... This is going to be good.
Don't do it Butch, it'll be your downfall.
Ot had to be a Butch something. Seriously, every person he surrounds himself with is an after school special bully.
It’s BS and a waste of time.
Ah, poor Donald, and he thought his retirement was going to be golf and porn stars. Bless.

Meanwhile, the Trumps .....
