JAKARTA - After leaving the chair of President of the United States (US), Donald Trump will return to dealing with the US Senate. This time it was related to an impeachment trial with a charge of incitement to rebellion, which led to riots on Capitol Hill, Washington on January 6.
Trump has prepared for this trial. Trump is known to have hired a South Carolina-based lawyer, Butch Bowers, to represent him in the Senate hearing later.
There has been no comment from Bowers on this. However, looking at his actions, Bowers is not a tinny lawyer. A number of public officials believe it.
According to the information on his website, Bowers served in the US Department of Justice under former President George W. Bush. Donald Trump also received a recommendation to use the services of Bowers from South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham who is also Trump's ally.
A number of Republican state governors have also appointed him as a lawyer. In 2012, he represented South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley in an ethics court. The charge was involved in illegal lobbying while he was a state official. Hales was successfully acquitted of all charges.
Bowers also represented Governor Mark Sanford at an ethics hearing in 2009. He alleged that he used a state plane for a secret five-day trip to Argentina to meet the woman he was cheating on. Sanford agreed to pay $ 74,000 to settle allegations of his personal travel and campaign expenses in violation of state ethics laws. However, he still denied all these accusations.
Bowers is known to have graduated from the Faculty of Law at Tulane University. He has his own law firm and also joins the Miller Law Group. Trump's trial is expected to begin as early as mid-February, Republican Senator Mike Braun told reporters Thursday, January 21 local time.
