Former President Donald Trump is making a fresh push to have the criminal charges against him over efforts to overturn the 2020 U.S. presidential election dropped. Trump's lawyers have filed a flurry of motions, arguing that his actions are protected by the First Amendment and that he can't be tried again after being acquitted by the Senate in his impeachment trial. They also claim that the case is a vindictive prosecution that violates his free speech. Prosecutors are opposing Trump's attempts to subpoena House records in connection with a congressional investigation into the January 6 riot.
