"Trump Lawyer's Admission Exposes Fabrication, Raises Questions"

During a hearing in a Colorado courtroom, one of Donald Trump's lawyers admitted that "we're all sort of making it up at the end of the day" in a dispute over the definition of "insurrection." The case revolves around appeals against a lower court ruling arguing that Trump is ineligible to serve as president again under the 14th Amendment. Lawsuits have been filed in multiple states, with some arguing that Trump engaged in insurrection on January 6, 2021. Trump's legal team is disputing this ruling, calling the cases "election interference." The debate centers on the definition of insurrection and whether the events of January 6 constituted a riot or an insurrection.
