Trump appoints impeachment legal team at last hour | First Thing

Trump has brought in a new legal team, less than two days before they must outline his defense. Plus, a military coup in Myanmar

Good morning.

Donald Trump has hired a new legal defense team for his impeachment trial in the Senate next week, a day after his previous team resigned en masse. The new team will have very little time to prepare for the trial, in which Trump is accused of inciting a deadly insurrection at the Capitol, with Tuesday marking the deadline to submit a preliminary memo outlining the former president's defense. According to CNN, all five of Trump's previous team resigned after disagreeing with him over strategy.
