1. President Trump has stacked his defense team for the Senate impeachment trial with high-profile litigators.

They include Ken Starr, who investigated President Bill Clinton; Alan Dershowitz, the celebrity defense lawyer and Harvard Law School professor emeritus; Robert Ray, who negotiated a final settlement with Mr. Clinton; and Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general. Pictured above from left to right are Mr. Starr, Ms. Bondi, Mr. Dershowitz and Mr. Ray.

The team, led by the White House counsel Pat Cipollone and Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow, faces the dual challenge of preserving the president’s support among Senate Republicans and presenting his case to the wider public.
