Trey Gowdy declined to represent Trump in impeachment inquiry: Report
by Ellie Bufkin
 | October 08, 2019 06:45 PM



Former Rep. Trey Gowdy has declined a request from the White House to represent President Trump as the Democrat-led impeachment inquiry moves forward, according to a report.

Gowdy, a former GOP representative of South Carolina, was approached by the White House this week as potential legal counsel for Trump as he prepares to fight against an impeachment investigation stemming from a July 25 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, according to a report from CNN. But Gowdy appeared to have turned down the request a short time later, according to Law & Crime.

"NEW: Trey Gowdy has declined to represent President Trump after the White House began a search for outside counsel during the House impeachment inquiry," a tweet from journalist Travis Akers said.

Gowdy has NOT been made an offer yet, per a person familiar with the discussions; he was at White House for meetings and has been approached in recent days by POTUS outside counsel. They anticipate he will say yes and believe he wants to work with them, but it isn’t done.

Confirmed, per a senior White House official, who says Trump has blessed the move. Trey Gowdy is on the Trump team.

I wanted to get a screen shot of the post that said this (the headline) was a good thing in case it conveniently disappeared if he signed on, but I missed it by that much.

   This is not a good thing for Trump. I watched that Benghazi debacle. 
   Though I do anxiously await the Rudy/Trey show for entertainment value alone.

   Aren't there any Lawyers still alive from OJ's dream team?
