With just over a week before his second impeachment trial begins, former President Donald Trump's legal defense team is in flux after at least two key departures.
Two of his lead impeachment lawyers, Butch Bowers and Deborah Barbier, have parted ways with Trump, a source familiar with the matter told NPR. The South Carolina-based lawyers' departure was a "mutual decision," the person said, but no explanation was given.
