However, Trump’s defense team, led by attorneys John F. Lauro and Todd Blanche, intends to introduce classified evidence during the trial. This evidence aims to demonstrate foreign influence on the 2016 and 2020 U.S. Presidential elections, supporting Trump’s claims questioning the election results.
The defense argues that the indictment in this case relies on classified assessments by the Intelligence Community, which downplayed or ignored foreign interference in the 2020 election. They claim these assessments were biased and politicized, leading Trump and others to reject them.

Furthermore, the defense asserts that the evidence will challenge key theories of the prosecution and demonstrate that Trump acted in good faith throughout, believing he was fulfilling his elected duty. This includes efforts to counter foreign interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections.
Dr. Jan Halper-Hayes, a former Global Vice President of Republicans Overseas UK, has also weighed in on the matter. She argues that there are significant concerns about election integrity that need attention, and the current indictment has inadvertently provided Trump with an opportunity to present his case and highlight possible election irregularities.
Halper-Hayes also discusses Executive Order 13848, implemented by Trump on September 12, 2018. She claims it was intended to combat foreign interference in U.S. elections, particularly the 2020 elections. According to her, this executive order allows Trump to present his case.
In conclusion, the upcoming trial holds great significance for American politics. As Trump prepares to reveal classified information regarding foreign interference in the 2016 and 2020 elections, the nation eagerly awaits the revelations that will come to light.
