Trump’s Options for Fighting Charges

New York Times: “While no one knows precisely how Mr. Trump will go about attacking the most serious charges he has faced, his options for using the legal system to delay the case, turn it into a political circus or paint himself as a victim of federal prosecutors are numerous and varied.”

“Even before his indictment, Mr. Trump, his allies and his lawyers had hinted at some of the arguments they could raise.”

“They include asserting that Mr. Trump had a right to take the documents from the White House and that he had declassified them before leaving office. They could accuse the prosecutors of misconduct or try to show that he was a victim of selective prosecution. And they could seek to have potentially damning evidence excluded from the trial or try to force the government to disclose classified material that it wants to keep secret.”

“But all of those claims could be difficult to sustain in court.”
