Trump's Legal Maneuvers Fail to Silence Critics

Former President Donald Trump is facing multiple trials, including federal and civil cases related to election interference and fraud. In the federal election interference case, Trump's lawyers are seeking to argue that he had the right to question the 2020 election results, despite evidence to the contrary. Trump is also fighting to eliminate gag orders in both the federal and New York civil fraud trials. In the New York case, the gag order has been reinstated after being temporarily lifted. Trump and his co-defendants, Mark Meadows and Rudy Giuliani, are not expected to receive plea deals in the Georgia election interference case. Additionally, one of the co-defendants, John Eastman, is requesting a separate and earlier trial. There are indications that more election interference cases may be forthcoming, with former Trump lawyer Kenneth Chesebro potentially cooperating with investigators in Nevada and Arizona.
