In a filing that put a smile on my face (in a “hahahaha… oh, he’s serious” kinda way), Donald Trump claims that because of foreign interference claims in the 2016 and 2020 elections, he wants to bring classified intelligence into the proceedings relating to his attempt to overthrow the Constitution and reinstall himself into a second term.
“The Indictment in this case adopts classified assessments by the Intelligence Community and others that minimized, and at times ignored, efforts by foreign actors to influence and interfere with the 2020 election. President Trump will offer classified information at trial relating to foreign influence activities that impacted the 2016 and 2020 elections, as well as efforts by his administration to combat those activities. President Trump will also present classified information relating to the biased and politicized nature of the intelligence assessments that he and others rejected during the events in question. Collectively, this evidence will undercut central theories of the prosecution and establish that President Trump acted at all times in good faith and on the belief that he was doing what he had been elected to do,” in a BIG over-promise Trump’s lawyers won’t be able to deliver on.
