Trump’s senior advisor, Jason Miller, tweeted on the 21st (local time) that former President Trump had appointed South Carolina lawyer Butch Bowers. However, he did not specifically explain whether Bowers would act alone as President Trump, or if he would form a separate lawyer.
Bowers was the advocate when the then governor of South Carolina was impeached for an affair in 2009 by Mark Sanford. Former Governor Sanford ended his second term as the Legislative Impeachment Committee decided not to impeach him.
Bowers also served as a defense for former South Carolina governor Nicky Haley during an ethics investigation in 2012. Former Governor Haley was later concluded innocent. Bowers also worked as a special advisor on voting issues at the Justice Department during the George W. Bush administration.

Rudy Giuliani, former President Trump’s private lawyer, will appear in the Senate as a witness. Giuliani, together with the former President of Trump, is pointed out as the one who instigated the’rebellion’. President Trump and Giuliani are accused of encouraging supporters to “go to the Capitol” right before the invasion of Congress on the 6th.
If the Senate approves the impeachment prosecution and the impeachment is approved, Trump’s re-run for the 2024 presidential election becomes impossible. This is because, according to the US Constitution, if the Senate passes the impeachment with a two-thirds vote and then passes a separate vote, the subject of impeachment will not return to public office. The ban on public office can only be approved by a majority of the Senate. The Senate seats were divided in half by the Democrats and Republicans, but it seems that Vice President Kamala Harris will be able to serve as a casting boat as the Senate Chairman is also held.
In this regard, the US political media Politico said that Democratic Party Chairman Nancy Pelosi is expected to send an impeachment bill to the Senate as early as the 22nd.
