Trump taps Mark Meadows as part of impeachment team of lawyers
January 22, 2021 | Vivek Saxena
Former President Donald Trump has begun to assemble a team to handle incoming document requests during his upcoming impeachment trial, much to the chagrin of his political opponents.
“Trump has selected his most recent White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, three White House lawyers who represented him during the early 2020 Senate impeachment trial, and the Justice Department’s former top attorney to serve as gatekeepers to his official government records,†Business Insider reported Thursday.
“Trump named seven representatives to represent him in matters involving his records, the Archives press office told Insider on Thursday. They include Meadows, former White House counsel Pat Cipollone, former National Security Council legal advisor John Eisenberg, and former head of DOJ’s Office of Legal Counsel Steven Engel,†the report continued.
“Trump also named three lawyers who worked for him as deputy White House counsels: Patrick Philbin, Scott Gast, and Michael Purpura.â€
While it’s tradition for outgoing presidents to mobilize a team to handle future document requests, the president’s picks are particularly important because they’ll be his only defense from the hands of the Senate Democrats seeking to dig deeply into his White House records.

Ok ... and possibly represent him as well in the upcoming impeachment trial.
Still also, he needs to hire a legal team for his private affairs now that he's out of office. The globalist/leftists want him completely ruined.
