Donald Trump's legal team characterizes the indictment as an attack on his right to free speech in response to his indictment in the special counsel's 2020 election interference investigation. Trump's defense lawyer, John Lauro, accused the Justice Department of "criminalizing" the First Amendment and claimed that Trump relied on the advice of attorneys in 2020. Legal experts disagree with the merit of Trump's First Amendment claims, and prosecutors argue that the case is not solely about Trump's lies but also about his actions to subvert the election.
