President Trump is reportedly considering hiring an attorney who spoke at the “Stop the Steal” rally in Washington, D.C. last week before the president’s supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol as part of Trump’s defense in his second impeachment trial.
Two unidentified sources told Reuters that John Eastman, a conservative attorney who clerked for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and who was part of the legal team that represented Trump in cases contesting the election results in several states, is under consideration to be a part of Trump’s defense team.
Trump on Wednesday became the first president in U.S. history to be impeached twice after ten Republican House members joined Democrats in passing an article of impeachment against him for “inciting insurrection” over his role in deadly rioting.

Oh great. Another loon. Well, if Trump does retain Eastman, I hope he’s smart enough to demand a retainer upfront. And make sure the check clears before starting work.
@TheRickWilson, What's the expression? Oh yes, "Everything Trump Touches Dies." https://t.co/nNIWe0der4
