Trump's Latest Attempts to Dismiss Federal Election Interference Case and Remove References to January 6 Attack

TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump is seeking to have the federal election subversion case against him dismissed, arguing that it violates his First Amendment rights. His defense lawyers claim that the case is an attempt to criminalize his claims of election fraud and interfere with his ability to run for president again. Trump also argues that he cannot be charged for conduct considered during his second impeachment trial. While these legal motions are considered long shots, they could potentially delay the trial set to begin on March 4.
