Here's how prosecutors will counter Trump's claim that he really believes election falsehoods: Andrew McCabe

Raw Story  

One difficulty in potentially prosecuting former President Donald Trump for trying to remain in power despite losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden would be proving corrupt intent. This would essentially boil down to whether prosecutors could prove that Trump knew his claims about the 2020 election being stolen were false, as his defense lawyers will likely argue that the twice-impeached former president sincerely believed he was acting to stop what he thought was a corrupt and illegitimate election. IN OTHER NEWS: Focus group of Trump voters finds none of them want him to run again -- for the first time ever Speaking for himself, McCabe said that "it is just not even reasonable to think that someone in those circumstances wouldn't know, wouldn't be able to understand what they were being told, which is that the election was not stolen."
