One of Trump's impeachment defense attorneys recently sued him

An impeachment lawyer for Donald Trump sued the former president in the run-up to the 2020 election — and in a separate case described him as a “f—ing crook.”

In a lawsuit filed in August, Pennsylvania lawyer Michael T. van der Veen accused Trump of claiming mail-in voting was “ripe with fraud” despite having “no evidence in support of these claims.” He charged that Trump’s voter fraud claims and 11th-hour changes to the U.S. Postal Service would suppress votes.
