Trump's lawyers should be held accountable for promoting his Big Lie in court: expert

Raw Story  

Legal expert Kim Wehle highlighted Thursday Donald Trump's recent court filing about his actions around 2020 and Jan. 6 in a desperate effort to prove that intervening in the election was part of his role as president. The final brief to the Supreme Court isn't the same as his conspiracy report, however, and it's unclear if the Trump lawyers would be willing to cite something like that as evidence. Special counsel Jack Smith's case walks through Trump's tweets about 2020, "contending that the election was tainted by fraud and irregularities;" all communications with the acting attorney general and those at the Justice Department about a plot to declare the election either corrupt or somehow invalid. She went on to call it "stunning" that after three years, Trump's lawyers are still using the "Big Lie" to justify the ex-president's behavior.
