Former President Donald Trump’s legal team filed a flurry of motions on Oct. 23 to dismiss the government’s 2020 election case against him for multiple reasons, including constitutional violations and “selective and vindictive prosecution.”
In one of the four motions filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, President Trump’s attorneys noted that the prosecution acknowledged in the indictment that he had a right to speak publicly about the election—including his belief that the election was stolen.
