Attorney Michael van der Veen is feeling the impact of working to defend former President Donald Trump in the president s second impeachment trial. According to van der Veen, all aspects of his life are being attacked. The Senate sure reacted when you were in the roller coaster over witnesses. You were making the argument that you could have a hundred or more witnesses and at one moment the Senate laughed at you. They seemed to give you a hard time, the Fox News host said. I want to ask you what your impressions were as a Philadelphia lawyer that came down here to argue this case. What was it like for you? What was your reaction to the way you were treated? And, as a follow up, how have you been treated as a result of defending the president. There were reports that your house was graffitied.
My home was attacked, van der Veen said on Fox News Saturday. To answer your question, my entire family, my business, my law firm are under siege right now.
And demonstrators assembled outside of van der Veen s downtown Philadelphia office, calling him a fascist and chanting, When van der Veen lies, what do you do? Convict. Convict.

Another one of Trump s attorneys, Bruce Castor, spoke about protesters coming to his home, and possibly other members of Trump s legal team have been subjected to these very unsettling events, Newsweek reports.
