Former President Donald Trump's legal team has filed a court motion requesting the dismissal of the January 6, 2021, election subversion case. They argue that the office of special counsel Jack Smith is unconstitutional, just 12 days before the presidential election.
Trump's lawyers claim that all actions taken by Smith since Attorney General Merrick Garland's appointment have been unlawful and unconstitutional. They allege that Garland was influenced by President Joe Biden to target Trump, citing Biden's recent comment urging to 'lock him up politically.'
