Exclusive: Trump Impeachment Attorneys Weigh In On Brewing Cheney Controversy
Two of former President Donald Trump’s second impeachment attorneys, Bruce Castor and David Schoen, informed The Federalist Friday morning the GOP ought to make a prudent decision in who is chosen to assume the House Republican Chair position. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., has been vocal in her disdain for Trump and voted to convict him during impeachment proceedings following the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
Bruce Castor, appointed by Trump on January 31 to lead his impeachment defense, said Cheney made a poor decision to convict and that GOP leaders ought to be “like-minded” to Trump since he is the “leader” of the current GOP. Castor served as a Pennsylvania district attorney and lost in a race for attorney general in 2004 to Tom Corbett, the eventual Republican governor.

Former Reagan Staffer David McIntosh Says Elise Stefanik Terrible for GOP Leadership: She s Very Much a Liberal
On 5/7/21 at 9:41 AM EDT
David McIntosh, the director of the Domestic Policy Council under former Republican President Ronald Reagan, pushed back hard against Representative Elise Stefanik s campaign for a House GOP leadership position, saying she would be terrible and describing her as very much a liberal.
As Representative Liz Cheney, chair of the House Republican Conference, has repeatedly condemned former President Donald Trump, House GOP leaders have turned on her, and she is expected to be ousted from her position as the No. 3 House Republican. Stefanik has emerged as the clear front-runner to replace the Wyoming Republican, but some conservative critics point to the New York Republican s past record to argue that she s not really a conservative.
