Of all the claims Donald Trump raised Monday in his quest to dismiss his election-related federal indictment in Washington, one of them overlaps particularly well with his paranoid political stance: that his prosecution is “selective and vindictive.” It sounds like a made-up legal argument but it’s a real one, even if Trump isn’t likely to see it succeed. To understand one of the reasons why, a case cited by the former president’s own legal team is helpful.
In claiming that a vindictive motive is “manifest,” the motion notes that Trump had criticized the 2020 election’s process and results; criticized Biden and his family before, during and after the election; and criticized the special counsel’s office after he was charged in the federal classified documents case in June.
