Renowned legal scholar and lawyer says some defenses may work in Trump case - FOX 13 Tampa

WASHINGTON, D.C. - The latest indictment against former President Donald Trump is getting the attention of a high-profile attorney and constitutional scholar.

Professor Bruce Rogow is now weighing in on the conspiracy charges against the former president. He says while the government's case appears strong, there are some possible defenses that may work.

On Monday, a grand jury indicted Trump on conspiracy charges in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Rogow is no stranger to high profile cases.

In 2019, he represented former Trump advisor and ally, Roger Stone, in his corruption trial in Washington D.C. He was found guilty and now Trump will face the same jury pool.

"I tried the Roger Stone case there. The people there, primarily Democrats, a great number of minorities from the District of Columbia. It’s not an easy jury pool for a conservative Republican. So, I think he has to face that," explained Rogow.

Trump's legal team will certainly ask for a change of venue, but the chances of that happening are not good says Rogow.

"I think they’re slim to none. The Jan. 6 cases were all tried there with people from all over the country including Florida. Obviously, nobody wanted to be tried there, but that’s where the incident took place and that’s the proper venue for it," explained Rogow.
