Trump's Legal Team's Desperate Attempts to Dismiss Jan. 6 Case

Donald Trump's legal team has filed three additional motions to dismiss the federal prosecution of his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Legal experts say the arguments are absurd and unlikely to result in dismissal. Trump's defenses include claiming that the election being stolen cannot be proven, arguing that he is the subject of a witch hunt led by Joe Biden, asserting that his impeachment protects him from double jeopardy, and denying that his "Stop the Steal" campaign constituted deceit or trickery. Experts believe the evidence against Trump is overwhelming and that his defenses are unlikely to succeed.
