Donald Trump stepped up his bid to have criminal charges against him over efforts to overturn his 2020 U.S. presidential election loss dropped, filing a flurry of motions overnight seeking again to have the federal case dismissed.
The three filings submitted late on Monday follow the Republican former president's attempt earlier this month seeking to dismiss the case citing presidential immunity, a claim U.S. prosecutorsTrump, who is the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination, had sought to delay the federal trial in Washington, currently due to begin in March, until after the November 2024 election.
Representatives for the U.S. special counsel's office declined to comment but have until Nov. 6 to file their response with the court. "Because the Government has not charged President Trump with responsibility for the actions at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, allegations related to these actions are not relevant and are prejudicial and inflammatory," they wrote.
