Donald Trump has named two new lawyers to his impeachment defense team just one day after parting ways with his previous legal team.

David Schoen, a defense lawyer and Bruce Castor, a former district attorney in Pennsylvania will now represent Trump with just about a week to go before his Senate trial.

Trump had initially announced Butch Bowers, a South Carolina lawyer, would lead his legal team. But he left the case over the weekend because of differences in strategy.
