“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support, obey and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of this Commonwealth and that I will discharge the duties of my office with fidelity, as well to the court as to the client, that I will use no falsehood, nor delay the cause of any person for lucre or malice.” (Pennsylvania Attorney Oath, 42 Pa. C.S.A. Section 2522.)

Ted Schwartz’s commentary of me and my representation of former President Donald J. Trump in his impeachment trial is abject libel and born of ignorance and bias. It was anything but the “calm, objective analysis” it portends to be. It is driven by the same unbridled hatred and ignorance that fueled the physical attacks on my home. As I argued during the trial, political hatred has no place in the Senate and no place in the law.
