Trump’s Legal Team Set to Challenge the Validity of the 2020 Election in Court
Former President Donald Trump and his legal team are planning to use his latest indictment as an opportunity to argue that the 2020 election was stolen from him in favor of President Joe Biden. Trump’s defense team intends to challenge the allegations that Trump knowingly spread false claims about election fraud but took steps to overturn the results. They want to subpoena individuals involved in the election while asserting that Trump was the rightful winner. Some Republican strategists are concerned that this approach will harm the party’s chances in the 2024 race and alienate moderate and swing voters. They argue that focusing on election denial cost the party control of the Senate in the midterms. Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, stated that they will show that Trump had concerns about election integrity without having to prove that the results were fake. Trump is also facing the potential for indictment in Georgia related to alleged efforts to influence the state’s ballot. Despite the legal challenges, Trump’s supporters believe that the prosecution is only bolstering his popularity and making him a greater threat to his enemies.
