It will include the former independent counsel ken starr, who led the investigation which led to bill clintons impeachment 20 years ago. Alan dershowitz will also be on m. E t he previously defended several highprofile clients including o. J. Simps and jeffrey epstein. Hie defense will be led by House Counsel Patrick Maloney and Donald Trumps private attorney jay sekulow. Coouespondent has more on the significance of ken starrs appointment. He had been an Appeals Court judge, then solicitor general, but most people know him because he was the independentel in that white water investigation into bill clinton. Rit was hort, the starr report, particularly his finding, that bill clinton had lied under oath about the nature of his relationship with Monica Lewinsky that ultimately led to his impeachment. Since then, he has been something of a work darling of the right. He has been a commentator of what we know to be Donald Trumps new channel of choice, and contributor foile. Anelist the president himself spent the afternoon hosting a reception for college footballers where he joked abo t his impendinal. If you would like, we will take whoever wants to co to the white office, behind the resolute desk. Its been there a long time. Some good, some not so good. But you have a good one now.

Iwe rebui we took outst those terro like your Football Team would have. Right . For more on how next weeks o trial is expecteday out, ive been speaking to professor scott lan expert on american studies in the u. K. When the senate comes back on yesterday, taken the oath on the constitution to be impartial jurors, we know Mitch Mcconnell says he doesnt want to be impartial, that he will sign with the white house. E specific issue that comes up almost immediate is whether documents at this trial. Mcconnell is doing his utmost to ensure no one is heard, there is no new evidence, but if four of 53 republicans defy mcconnell, that would produce a majority that would w insisnesses have to be heard, including former National Secy advisor john abolton, that would both add to the drama of the trial, and change the political nature of it. How likely is it that we will see witnesses allowed in this . We dont know. It really comes d the group of senors who expressed concern, including mitt romney, the 2012 republican nominee, they have included lamar alexander, Lisa Murkowski of alaska, do they turn that concern into saying yes, you have a proper trial, we must have witnesses. I dont think even until that vote is being held we will not know which waysenators will go. You talk about theh o of impartiality being taken by senators. How es that work with senators saying we are going to Vote Along Party Lines . Along party lines. Ot voted the house has voted that this is where we stand on impeachment. But most senators have said i have been an impartial juror. The keyenator who says he wil not be impartial, in oth inwords, the oath means no is mcconnell. He said he saw his job to be working alongside the white hous to make sure donald trump was not convicted, and was done as quickly as possible. Rather than the coniritutional reents of the case, it is mcconnells politics at the forefront of where we go next. What can they do th in the face of such blatant admission . It comes down to the republican the rules of this trial are not setth lik hard and fast rules we would have any criminal court that we are used to. It is the senators who get to make it up for this particular case. Although they are supsed to be guided by constitutional the republicans actually come out and say, Mitch Mcconnell, is not the way to do things, he gets to effectively be number one in that trial, if the chief justice jo roberts is the one presiding.

The important thing to know about this trial is ita very peculiaros trial becauseof those in the dark were not there, b,ad presumed to be is a trial of the ghosts here in france because of this unusual fact. Many of the 19 who went out to the middle east in 2014, 2015 are known toave died because Islamic State has passed information back to their atfamilies to say hey have been killed. Nonetheless, as far as the french state was concerned, these people had no death certificate, and they would not even be recognized fm the islamitate, so the state treated them as still alive and went ahead with this tri. It is all a bit strange but thats the fact. At the end of thisrial,se the 19 were found, indeed, tbe guilty of organizing the trip to the middle east, joining an enemy of the cntry, and were given these long jail terms. There were five others who stayed in france, helped organize the departus and had a lesser role in this, and got shorter terms. The big take away is how weird it is, that the french decided to put on trial people who they know are dead.
