Trump seeks to dismiss election interference charges

-


 Former President Donald Trump has asked a federal court to dismiss an election interference charge against him, arguing that his role gives him "absolute immunity."

Trump's lawyers say his attempts to sow doubt about the 2020 election results are within the scope of his duties as president and cannot be prosecuted. They claim that these statements “were central to his official duties.” Additionally, Trump requested a delay in processing his file of classified documents. Trump's lawyers have called for the trial in which the former president is accused of misusing sensitive documents to take place after the 2024 presidential election. This is part of a flurry of legal filings in recent days related to a number of ongoing Trump cases. In a new election interference lawsuit filed Thursday, his lawyers say Trump's public comments about the 2020 election were an attempt to "ensure the integrity of the federal election." "The acts alleged in the indictment clearly fall within the 'external scope' of the President's official responsibility," the lawyers say. “Therefore, they cannot form the basis for criminal charges against President Trump.” » The former president made a series of allegations of fraud in the 2020 presidential election after his defeat, but there is no evidence of widespread fraud that would could have changed the result. In a bid to delay further proceedings, Trump on Thursday filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of another lawsuit against his former lawyer Michael Cohen, seeking at least $500 million (£410 million) in damages and interest. In a statement released to US media, Trump's campaign team said that his trials and the 2024 presidential campaign had taken too long to enforce his claims.
