"Trump's Election Defense: From Cyber Conspiracies to Russian Meddling"

Lawyers on both sides of Donald Trump's trial for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election have expressed interest in drawing attention to Russia's interference in the 2016 election. Trump's defense argues that his skepticism about foreign influence in the 2020 race was justified based on the intelligence community's assessment of Russian interference in 2016. Prosecutors, on the other hand, want to present evidence of Trump's history of spreading misinformation about voter fraud and refusing to accept election outcomes. The admissibility of evidence related to the 2016 race will be determined by the judge.
