Ahead of his second impeachment trial next week, former President Donald Trump has tapped Bruce Castor, an attorney with a long, fractious history in Pennsylvania politics, to co-lead his defense team against charges of incitement of insurrection.
Throughout his career, Castor has shown a knack for finding the limelight, and a tendency to fill in for disgraced public officials.
Castor, a Republican, is a former Montgomery County district attorney and county commissioner who once pledged not to prosecute Bill Cosby with sexual assault, and had a brief — but colorful — stint as state attorney general after AG Kathleen Kane was convicted of multiple felonies.
