Trump Lawyers Seek Dismissal of Federal Election Subversion Charges and Removal of January 6 Mentions in Indictment

Attorneys for Donald Trump have filed motions to dismiss charges in the federal election subversion case, arguing that they violate his First Amendment rights and are the result of a "selective and vindictive prosecution." They also seek to remove mentions of the January 6 attack from the indictment, claiming it could be "highly prejudicial" against Trump. His attorneys argue that Trump's actions were protected by the First Amendment and that the indictment fails to prove the charges. They also claim that the prosecution is a political hit job and a result of biased efforts to protect Joe Biden. Trump faces four counts in the case and has pleaded not guilty.
