Much of Donald Trump’s legal strategy in his federal 2020 election interference case has, so far, centered around trying to delay the start of his March trial until after the November presidential election.

But in recent court filings, and according to sources familiar with the Trump team’s approach, other defense strategies have emerged – namely of absolving Trump, the front-runner for the GOP nomination, of responsibility for the US Capitol attack and positioning him as a victim of disinformation and overzealous government investigators.

Two under-the-radar court filings from Trump’s team in late November offered the clearest glimpse yet into what the former president’s lawyers may try to argue before a jury in the historic case. The filings say that his lawyers hope during the trial to point to people in the federal government he suspects are biased toward him, to foreign influence, and to election disinformation that led him to believe the 2020 contest was stolen.

    He literally got to pick his own judge, and he’s complaining about bias.

    Yes maybe now you get how tough it is to be Trump, even his own people are biased against him. Sometimes his fingers are biased against him, and his brain too. That’s why he says one thing and the next moment he says something else. But the worst part is, that reality is so very strongly biased against him too, that’s why he chooses to live most of his life in lala land.
