Trump's Claims Undermine Defense

Former President Donald Trump has suggested that his false claims about the 2020 presidential election being rigged against him will play a prominent role in any criminal trial related to his efforts to overturn the election outcome. Trump made these statements on his Truth Social platform, indicating that he will likely face federal charges due to the Justice Department's probe into these matters. Despite many of his conspiracy theories being dismissed by the courts and then-US Attorney General Bill Barr, Trump maintains that he was the rightful election winner. He plans to use these claims in court, but legal experts argue that such a defense is unlikely to hold up due to the lack of evidence supporting his allegations.
