McCarthy had been a cheerleader for Trump. Always supportive; always riding to his side. But then, after the storming of the Capitol on 6 January, the most senior Republican congressman went his own way and said this: “The president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob rioters. He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding.”

So far, so brave. But then McCarthy feels the icy blowback from the Trump base, and from the former president himself who was enraged. McCarthy then says Donald Trump can’t be blamed, and his fast-changing analysis settles on the slightly ludicrous take - all Americans were responsible for the riot that left five dead. Which is pretty much the same, if you think about it, as saying no-one was responsible.

All of which brings us to today. It looks like congressman McCarthy went to kiss the king’s ring, seeking forgiveness and absolution for the momentary lapse.

One of Schoen’s recent, high-profile clients was Trump ally Roger Stone, who he represented during a sentencing appeal last April. He also has focused on civil rights litigation in Alabama.

Schoen most recently made headlines for meeting with accused sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein before Epstein’s death in a New York prison.

Castor was Montgomery County, Pa., district attorney from 2000 to 2008. During his time in office, he declined to prosecute actor and comedian Bill Cosby for sexual assault-related charges when one of Cosby’s accusers, Andrea Constand, went to police in 2005.
