Trump asserts he cannot be held accountable for charges of election interference

Lawyers representing Donald Trump are arguing that his efforts to undermine the credibility of the 2020 election were part of his official duties as President and should not be subject to criminal charges. They have filed a motion requesting the dismissal of the charges related to alleged election interference. In their legal filing, the attorneys claimed that Trump's unproven allegations of election fraud were essential to his responsibilities as President. Additionally, the former President's legal team has requested a postponement in a separate Florida case that accuses Trump of mishandling classified documents. They are seeking to hold the trial after the 2024 presidential election.
