“This isn’t a reasonable argument”: Experts say Trump lawyer’s defense “won’t fly in any court”

Former President Donald Trump 's attorney John Lauro says the case is an attempt to suppress his political speech.

Lauro: "This is an attack on free speech, and political advocacy, and there's nothing that's more protected under the First Amendment than political speech" Lauro 's argument likely will not hold up in court as a valid legal defense, legal experts say.

The idea that Trump 's first amendment rights have been violated is going to fail, an attorney says.

Jamie White , a Michigan -based attorney, said that Trump isn't being charged for "being a liar" but for "affirmative action to alter an election in his favor to the detriment of others" White: "This is the most historic indictment in the history of the United States ".
