President Trump revealed his legal team for the trial last Friday, which will include Alan Dershowitz and Kenneth Starr, who first came to fame during the Clinton impeachment trial in the late ’90s. Trump is the third president to be impeached in the nation’s history and the first since Bill Clinton was impeached in 1998 on charges of lying under oath to a federal grand jury and obstruction of justice.

The House of Representatives delivered two articles of impeachment last week against President Trump, charging abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi signed the articles last Wednesday while flanked by the 7 Democratic trial managers who will prosecute the case. Those managers are: Jerrold Nadler of New York, Adam Schiff of California, Hakeem Jeffries of New York, Zoe Lofgren of California, Val Demings of Florida, Sylvia Garcia of Texas and Jason Crow of Colorado.
