Trump Lawyers Seek Dismissal of Election Interference and Defamation Cases

Former President Donald Trump's lawyers have filed court documents arguing that the federal election obstruction case against him should be dismissed, citing protection under the First Amendment and claiming that he cannot be retried after being acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial. The lawyers argue that the charges are legally flawed and violate constitutional grounds such as the First Amendment, double jeopardy, and due process. They also claim that Trump is being selectively and vindictively prosecuted. Trump's legal team has requested a hearing to explore these allegations. A trial date for the federal election interference case is set for March 4.
