Daniel Barnes reports for NBC News, based in Washington.
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump is seeking to toss the federal election obstruction case against him, arguing in court filings Monday that his actions are protected by the First Amendment and that he can't be tried again after being acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial.
“As explained herein, the reason the prosecution employed this tactic is plain — President Trump did not violate the charged statutes, even accepting the prosecution’s false allegations as true.” The third motion argues the indictment should be dismissed because Trump is being selectively and vindictively prosecuted.
