I just walked over to Butch Bowers’ law office next to the Statehouse and knocked on the locked door.

He came out into the hallway, saw me through the window, turned around and walked back inside.

Here’s a photo of Bowers’ office. You may recognize the name of the other attorney who used to work in the same building with him before taking on a different job. #scpol

Bowers finally just emerged from his office in running clothes after I staked it out for about an hour.

I asked if he’ll be representing Trump in the impeachment trial.

“I don’t have any comment at this time,” he said. “I’m just going for a jog.”

Bowers did also ask if I wanted to come on the run with him. I said sure! (I’m wearing a suit.) But he just laughed and said, “No you don’t.”

Next time I’ll come better prepared.

And now a Trump advisor confirms it:

Just ran back to Bowers’ office to ask if he has any comment now that @JasonMillerinDC has confirmed he’ll be Trump’s impeachment lawyer (he was already back from the jog).

“Who’s Jason?” he said, looking confused for a few seconds.

“I’m just kidding.”

“I would just tell you that everything Jason said in the tweet I agree with, and I look forward to representing the former president,” Bowers said.

I asked if he’d spoken directly w/ Trump yet.

“That’s all I’ve got to say right now. We’ll talk later.”

I’m sure we will...
