'Trump's motion basically claims he's unlike all the other defendants and Capitol rioters,' one legal analyst told Newsweek.

Lawyers for Donald Trump filed several motions on Monday in response to the federal charges against him relating to the 2020 election, which could impact some Capitol rioters.Trump was previously indicted for his alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results following an investigation by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump was accused of conspiring to obstruct the role of Congress in certifying the 2020 election results.

''The claim that Trump is subject to a selective prosecution regarding election subversion case is belied by the publicly available fact that over 1,100 individuals have been charged in connection with the Capitol attacks, some of whom were charged with the same statutory offenses as in Trump's case,' McAuliffe said.
