Trump's defense team seeks to dismiss election interference case, arguing unconstitutional Special Counsel appointment.

Former President Donald Trump's legal team is seeking to dismiss the federal election interference case against him, arguing that Special Counsel Jack Smith's appointment was unconstitutional and lacked proper Senate confirmation. They claim this violates the Appointments Clause and have requested to cut Smith's funding. Trump's defense echoes a successful argument in a Florida case regarding classified documents, where a judge dismissed charges against him.
