South Carolina-based Attorney, Butch Bowers, will represent Trump at his 2nd Impeachment Trial, which may start in February, as Senator Minority Leader, McConnell (R-KY), asked for time for Trump to prepare his Defence.
Bowers, who runs his Law Practice out of an Office across the street from the South Carolina Statehouse in the Capital City of Columbia, has a long history of representing Elected Officials and Political Candidates on Governmental and Election Law matters, according to the Bowers Law Office's website.
He's previously served as Counsel to Former South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford, when he was threatened with Impeachment in 2009 for Concealing his Extramarital Affair with an Argentinian Journalist.
Bowers has also Represented Former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and Former Lt. Gov and Current Governor, Henry McMaster, on Ethics Matters, in addition to holding significant experience in Election Law.
He Represented former North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory and the South Carolina State Election Commission in Litigation over Voter ID Laws, and served as Special Counsel for Voting Matters at the Department of Justice under the Bush Administration in addition to previously Chairing the State Election Commission.
Many of the Attorneys who represented Trump or assisted in his Defense for his First Trial, including: Former White House Counsel Pat Cipollone; Trump's Former Personal Attorney Jay Sekulow; Former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi; and Former Senior Advisor Eric Herschmann, either Declined to Represent Trump this time around or Expressed No interest in doing so.
Law Firms such as Porter Wright and Snell & Wilmer, also Dropped their Representation of Trump's Campaign in various Post-Election Lawsuits after Public Backlash. Even the Big-Name Law Firm, Jones Day, publicly distanced itself from Trump.
It is unclear whether Trump would Return to Washington, DC, for the Trial.
