Donald Trump on Sunday named two lawyers who will join his impeachment defence team, one day after it was revealed the former president had parted ways with two other lawyers who had been set to defend him.

The two lawyers representing him will be David Schoen, an Alabama attorney, and Bruce Castor, a former prosecutor in Pennsylvania.
