Donald Trump is scheduled to be arraigned in Washington, D.C., today in connection with charges related to his efforts to undo the 2020 election.
While Trump in campaign appearances to this day remains committed to the idea that the 2020 election was stolen, Cobb said presenting evidence on the former president's state of mind presents one significant challenge.
Per the indictment, Trump is alleged to have told Pence that he was "too honest" for rejecting Trump's false claims that the vice-president had the power to overturn the vote. Barr did allow that the current case, based on the indictments, will be more challenging for prosecutors than one Trump faces in Florida over unlawfully retaining documents, several of them top secret. There, the government appears to have amassed a monthlsong paper trail, video evidence and testimony from Trump employees and lawyers.
