Trump lawyers seek dismissal of DC federal election subversion case, arguing presidential immunity
View Date:2024-12-23 15:29:46

The motion amounts to the most pointed attack on the federal case charging Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election he lost to Democrat Joe Biden.
