(CNN) President Donald Trump is considering having Rudy Giuliani and Alan Dershowitz defend him if he faces another impeachment trial, two sources familiar with the matter said. Giuliani, Trump's personal attorney, is expected to represent him, the sources said, and Trump is also considering hiring Dershowitz, a controversial attorney. But he told Politico on Friday that it would be his "honor and privilege" to defend the President. Dershowitz called CNN after publication of this article and said he was referring to the "honor and privilege" of defending the Constitution, not the President. "It would be my honor and privilege to defend the Constitution of the United States and the First Amendment against partisan efforts to weaponize the Constitution," Dershowitz said.
