Graham and McConnell want impeach trial delayed

Senator Lindsey Graham supports Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s push to delay the impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump for at least three weeks.  It’s believed that Trump is having trouble securing a defense team, although there are reports that a South Carolina lawyer named Butch Bowers is in line to be part of the team to defend Trump against the accusation that he incited the invasion of the Capitol.  In a prepared statement, Graham said, “It was my hope that President Biden would call on Democratic leaders to stand down the second impeachment of former President Trump, but apparently he is unwilling or unable to do so.”
