Dershowitz is one of four lawyers who were selected personally by Trump and announced Friday as new members of the president’s legal team. On Monday, the White House is expected to file a legal brief outlining why Trump should be acquitted. ADAides to the House managers team said the managers and staff met Sunday to continuing discussing the trial strategy and to refine drafts of arguments that have been written over the previous weeks. Since joining the White House team, Dershowitz has made headlines for some of his unorthodox remarks about Trump’s impeachment. In the mid-2000s, Dershowitz and Starr were part of Jeffrey Epstein’s legal team when the wealthy investor was under investigation on suspicion of child prostitution.
