Joyce Vance reacts to the argument that Trump is immune from prosecution for allegedly pressuring Pence over 2020 election results.
Donald Trump's legal team recently offered a 'remarkable' suggestion as to why the federal 2020 election interference case should be dismissed, a legal expert has said.On her Civil Discourse blog, Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor, reacted to the joint status report submitted on August 30 by special counsel Jack Smith and Trump's lawyers. It detailed their clashing proposals for how the case should continue.
'But in the court of public opinion, and particularly for voters, the argument that, 'sure, I pressured Mike Pence to refuse to certify the election for Joe Biden after we lost so we could take over the government anyway' isn't exactly a compelling one. And yet, that's the essence of the position Trump's lawyers take.'Newsweek has contacted Trump's legal team for comment via email.
