Over the weekend, the word \u201ctraitor\u201d was spray painted on the driveway outside Van der Veen\u2019s Pennsylvania home<\/p>\n<p>A group of protesters also gathered outside the attorney\u2019s Philadelphia law office, calling him a fascist. Van der Veen said his family, business and law firm are under siege right now, adding he has received around 100 death threats.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2372264\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2372264\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-large wp-image-2372264\" src=\"https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/AP21044724497161-655x437.jpg\" alt=\"In this image from video, Michael van der Veen, an attorney for former President Donald Trump, speaks during closing arguments in the second impeachment trial of Trump in the Senate at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, Saturday, Feb. 13, 2021.

(Senate Television via AP)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>While no arrests have been made in relation to the incident at his home, the attacks have prompted him to take action to ensure the safety of his family. Police are increasing their presence around his neighborhood and he has reportedly hired private security.<\/p>\n<p>This all followed a recent interview in which Van der Veen vigorously called out the mainstream media over it\u2019s coverage of the trial.<\/p>\n<p>Van der Veen refuted an attempt by a CBS anchor to downplay the significance of Democrat impeachment managers selectively editing evidence for the Senate trial. He also contended the mainstream media is actively attempting to sow division among the American people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe media has to start telling the right story in this country. The media is trying to divide this country. You are bloodthirsty for ratings!\u201d Van der Veen exclaimed. \u201cI can\u2019t believe that you would ask me a question indicating that it\u2019s alright just to doctor a little bit of evidence. There\u2019s more stuff that we uncovered that they doctored to be frank with you, and perhaps that will come out one day, but we won this case.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Van der Veen said the conduct of Democrat impeachment managers was inexcusable and the media must stop siding with them.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, others have voiced their concerns over the attacks, including Jenna Ellis who previously worked on the Trump legal team.
