President Donald Trumps impeachment defense team will include Ken Starr, whose investigation led to the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, and Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, whose clients have included notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and O.J. Simpson.
The Trump team choices came to light as the presidents impeachment trial is set to begin in earnest next Tuesday in the Senate, where he is accused of abusing power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden last summer while withholding military aid to that nation.
In addition to Starr and Dershowitz, the lawyer Robert Ray is expected to be on Trumps impeachment defense team. Ray had succeeded Starr has independent counsel in the Whitewater investigation of Clinton.
White House Counsel Pat Cipollone and Trumps personal lawyer Jay Sekulow are heading the impeachment defense team.

Dershowitz is an excellent addition. I would want him on my team.
I will be sure to listen to Levin during this trial.
