Trump's lawyers to seek dismissal of federal election subversion case

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : Though prosecutors initially accused Trump of wide-ranging schemes to cling to power and to block the peaceful transfer of power, they must now contend with the aftermath of a Supreme Court opinion that said former presidents enjoy absolute immunity for core constitutional acts and are presumptively immune for other official acts they take as president.
34% : Defense lawyers also intend to seek the dismissal of the case on the same grounds that a federal judge in Florida cited in tossing out a separate prosecution of Trump last month.
23% : Those include arguments that a new and more limited indictment issued by prosecutors this week still contains allegations for which Trump, as a former president, is entitled to immunity, such as his conversations with former Vice President Mike Pence.
22% : Special counsel Jack Smith's team responded to the ruling with a new indictment this week that cut out allegations related to Trump's dealings with the Justice Department, an area of conduct for which the court said Trump was immune.
21% : The defense team foreshadowed a series of likely challenges to the case as it seeks to delay, if not eliminate altogether, a criminal case charging Trump with plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.
