Much of Donald Trump’s legal strategy in his federal 2020 election interference case has, so far, centered around trying to delay the start of his March trial until after the November presidential election.
But in recent court filings, and according to sources familiar with the Trump team’s approach, other defense strategies have emerged – namely of absolving Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, of responsibility for the US Capitol attack and positioning him as a victim of disinformation and overzealous government investigators.
Two under-the-radar court filings from Trump’s team in late November offered the clearest glimpse yet into what the former president’s lawyers may try to argue before a jury in the historic case. The filings say that his lawyers hope during the trial to point to people in the federal government he suspects are biased toward him, to foreign influence, and to election disinformation that led him to believe the 2020 contest was stolen.

Can’t have a Democrat judge you because bias, can have a self appointed judge on your case because “Trump is smart and picks good people that are trustworthy.” Yeah that tracks…
No collision or coordination with a foreign government, that’s hogwash and political misinformation, but if it happened it’s A Good Thing™ to be on Putin’s good side. Oh but Biden definitely worked with the Chinese and that’s bad…
I do it with my dad all the time as a “joke.” “Hey dad did you hear about how Obama would have Anderson Cooper on voice calls when discussing important thing with his staff? You say that’s terrible and he should be ashamed? Sorry I lied it was actually Trump and Lou Dobbs. Ohh Dobbs is respectable so now it’s ok? Right, got it.”
