Trump. Mr. Noble was one of the authors of the Trump-Ukraine Impeachment Inquiry Report that formed the basis for the Articles of Impeachment later adopted by the U.S. House of Representatives. Mr. Noble also worked with the House General Counsel to draft the briefs filed by the House Managers in the U.S. Senate. During the impeachment trial of President Trump, Mr. Noble served as counsel to the House Managers and helped prepare the House’s case presented in the U.S. Senate.
