Trump's Jan. 6 trial delay efforts face setback in court.

Former President Donald Trump is using his ongoing legal battles related to the 2020 election interference charges to promote baseless claims that the federal government orchestrated or incited violence during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. In court filings, Trump has requested information on far-right conspiracy theories often propagated by his conservative allies, blurring the line between his legal defense and political campaign. These claims, including the involvement of supposed government agents and the role of Antifa, have been repeatedly debunked in federal court. Legal experts argue that Trump's strategy is more of a public relations tactic than a legal defense.
