WASHINGTON.
A week after leaving the White House, U.S. President Donald Trump chose lawyers to defend him in the political trial process.
One of those elected will be Rudy Giuliani, who was the Republican’s personal attorney and who led the appeals strategy after the Nov. 3 presidential election.
John Eastman is also considered to be part of the president’s defense team in the political trial.
Eastman, 60, supported unfounded allegations of election fraud at the rally before the Capitol assault.
Defender did not confirm or deny whether he will represent Trump, citing respect for lawyer-client privacy.
If the president of the United States asked me to consider helping, I would certainly consider it, “the former professor at Chapman University in California said.
In the same vein, Eastman accused that in the election there were secret ballot folders to generate fraud.
Alan Dershowitz is also considered part of the Republican team.
In this context, President Trump instructed his collaborators to suspend the payment of the legal fees of his lawyer Giuliani, according to the newspaper The Washington Post.
According to the newspaper, Giuliani requested a payment of $ 20,000 a day in housework to appeal the results of the presidential election.
Faced with the failure of the challenges, Trump expressed annoyance to the lawyer and to Vice President Mike Pence.
Last Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives made Trump the country’s first president to be charged in a political trial on two occasions, accusing him of inciting an insurgency as lawmakers sought to certify Joe Biden’s victory. in the elections.
FINE FOR PARTY

This, after the publication of a video of a New Year’s Eve party in which a crowd is observed on the dance floor without wearing mouthpieces.

The letter, dated Jan. 12, was addressed to Sea-to-Lake Vice President and Director Bernd Lembcke after one of the president’s sons, Donald Trump Jr., posted a video of the party on the networks social.
Ok, this is amazing. Vanilla Ice is playing at the Sea-to-Lake New Year’s Eve party. I feel like a child in the 90s … “, he wrote in the post.
