Last week Trump’s impeachment defense attorney was revealed to be none other than Karl “Butch” Bowers. While many people and businesses broke their relationship with Trump after the Capitol riot in attempts to distance themselves from the former president Bowers never questioned for a second if he would accept the job and scrutiny that will come with it. In a statement to The Washington Post Bowers confidently said, “It’s who I am. It’s what I do. It’s all about the rule of law in the Constitution.” [Related: Trump Impeachment Lawyer Announced]

Fox News reports:

“I’m not worried what other people think,” he told the Post, adding that he has not been following media coverage of his role in the trial.

His decision to defend Trump came as no shock to South Carolina political consultant Tim Pearson.

“It doesn’t surprise me he is willing to do the work,” Pearson told the Post. “He is a lawyer’s lawyer in the sense that I think he believes that everybody deserves representation.”

Bowers was inspired to enter this line of work after his father, who led the Federal Highway Administration in the Carter administration, was convicted in 1980 after being charged with conspiracy and embezzlement. Bowers believed his father was specifically targeted by prosecutors, possibly due to his own political aspirations.

Bowers is a solo practitioner from South Carolina and has represented a number of politicians before like former South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford and Nikki Haley.
