Why Trump can’t use the ‘idiot’ defense other Jan. 6 defendants often lean on
The article discusses potential legal strategies for former president Trump related to the 2020 election and the January 6th Capitol riots. It suggests that Trump’s legal team may have difficulty defending claims that he truly believed he won the election, considering the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Some individuals involved with the January 6th events have already stated they were misled by Trump and his allies’ misinformation. The article also highlights Trump’s plan to argue that the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency statement declaring the 2020 election as the “most secure in American history” was politically motivated. Notably, many defendants from the January 6th riot who once believed in Trump’s claims of election fraud now admit they were misguided.
