Trump adds legal heavyweights Starr, Dershowitz to impeachment teamFILE PHOTO: Attorney Kenneth Starr speaks during arguments before the California Supreme Court to overturn California's Proposition 8 in San Francisco, California March 5, 2009. The White House also said Jane Raskin, one of Trump’s private lawyers, and Eric Herschmann, another former independent counsel, would be on the president’s legal team. Both Starr and Dershowitz were defenders of Trump in media interviews during the impeachment process. Sources working with the Trump legal team said the president wanted Dershowitz because of his background as a constitutional scholar. Trump involved the national collegiate champion Louisiana State University football team in the impeachment drama during its celebratory visit to the White House.
