It appears that Trump's new impeachment lawyer's firm sued Trump and the US Postal Service.

In their lawsuit, they noted that Trump has made "repeated claims" "that voting by mail is ripe with fraud despite having no evidence in support of those claims."

A firm that sued Trump for repeated claims of fraud - is going to defend his lies in the impeachment trial?

Huh? That don't make sense.
