Trump's Ongoing Legal Battle Intensifies in D.C. Election Case

Former President Donald Trump has filed new legal challenges to his federal prosecution for allegedly subverting the results of the 2020 election. Trump's lawyers argue that his actions were protected by the First Amendment as political speech and that he cannot be tried in criminal court for trying to block Joe Biden's victory after being impeached but acquitted. They claim that the charges are legally defective and vague, and that Trump should not be linked to the violence of the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Trump is scheduled to face trial in federal court in March.
