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.

Trump's Legal Defenses: Challenges and Consequences

Former President Donald Trump can raise several legal defenses against the federal charges brought by the special counsel, including arguing that his claims of election fraud were protected free speech, that he relied on the advice of lawyers, and that he genuinely believed the election was stolen from him. However, legal experts suggest that these defenses may not hold up based on the known facts and evidence. Trump's best strategy may be to delay the trial and hope for a return to the presidency, where he could potentially order the prosecution to be dropped or attempt to pardon himself.
