Former President Donald Trump's legal strategy in the 2020 election interference case has primarily focused on delaying the March trial until after the November presidential election, but recent court filings reveal a new strategy: aiming to absolve Trump of responsibility for the attack on the Capitol and portray him as a victim of disinformation and government overreach, according to CNN.
His most recent filings indicate that during his trial, Trump’s lawyers plan to employ a new defense by highlighting individuals in the federal government whom the former president perceives as biased against him, pointing to foreign influence and emphasizing election disinformation that contributed to his belief that the 2020 election was stolen, the publication reported.
