Former President Donald Trump has offered up some questionable arguments to try to squirm out of legal trouble before. But his latest argument may be the boldest yet. Trump is claiming that it’s unconstitutional to proceed with the federal case charging him with trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election and subvert lawful votes because he was acquitted for those same activities in his second impeachment trial.
The idea that the Senate’s trial of Trump — where acquittal was a foregone political conclusion, divorced from the facts that a criminal trial requires — put him “in jeopardy of life or limb” makes no sense. He was in danger of, at most, not being able to hold office again, not any sort of jail time or monetary fine.
