- President Donald Trump has put the final touches on his legal defense team before oral arguments in his Senate impeachment trial kick off on Tuesday.
- Trump's defense will include the attorneys Alan Dershowitz, Ken Starr, and Robert Ray. Starr and Ray both investigated President Bill Clinton during his impeachment in the 1990s.
- The team will be led by White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Trump's personal defense attorney, Jay Sekulow. It also includes former Florida attorney general Pam Bondi.
- Dershowitz later seemed to distance himself from claims, most of which he himself made, that he would be a full-time member of the defense team, telling Mediaite, "I will be there for one hour, basically, presenting my argument. But I'm not a full-fledged member of the defense team in any realistic sense of that term."
