Rep. Gaetz Says He’d Resign Seat If Asked to Defend Trump at Trial
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), an outspoken ally of former President Donald Trump, said he would give up his House seat if he was asked to defend Trump at the impeachment trial, which is slated to begin next week.
In a Feb. 3 interview on the “War Room” podcast, Gaetz said some House colleagues had discussed whether they could represent Trump during the trial. They were told by the House Committee on Ethics that they couldn’t do so as sitting members of the House, he said.
Gaetz took issue with the current strategy employed by Trump’s legal team and said he would “absolutely” resign if called upon.

Trump Adds Two Former Prosecutors to Impeachment Defense Team
Former President Donald Trump has added two former federal prosecutors to his impeachment defense team, according to one of the lawyers.
Greg Harris told the Associated Press that he and former acting U.S. Attorney Johnny Gasser were added to the team.
A call to the private practice the men co-founded wasn’t immediately returned, nor were emailed inquiries.
Harris was a federal prosecutor in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina, specializing in the prosecution of white-collar crimes. His biography says he views the experience as one that helps him obtain the best results for the clients he now represents as a defense lawyer.
