Donald Trump’s legal team seems to be preparing for a fierce fight in response to the recent indictment filed against him. Trump’s lawyer and legal spokesperson, Alina Habba, made some eyebrow-raising comments during a press conference, offering hints about the former president’s upcoming legal strategy.

Habba first mentioned that everyone was aware that Trump had lost the election, but then added that there were numerous advisers and lawyers giving him advice. This statement seems to suggest that Trump will argue that he followed the advice of his advisors and was influenced by them, making him less culpable for his actions.

As a conservative republican news writer, I find this legal strategy to be quite clever. Trump’s team aims to shift the blame onto the co-conspirators who were advising him, potentially minimizing Trump’s role in the events leading up to January 6th. While it remains to be seen how successful this strategy will be, it definitely raises questions about the responsibility of those around Trump during that time.
Furthermore, it’s worth noting that John Eastman, who proposed the theory that Mike Pence could overturn the election, has been singled out by Trump’s lawyer as the one who advised the former president on the plan. This indicates that Eastman might become a scapegoat to deflect liability from Trump himself.
Overall, it seems that Trump’s legal team is preparing to go on the offensive, pointing fingers at others who were involved in advising Trump and potentially protecting him from the alleged actions leading up to January 6th. It’s a bold move, but only time will tell if it will lead to a successful defense or further consequences for those surrounding the former president.
