Trump's lawyers are claiming anything that he does that is illegal is an official act, even if it isn't an official act. They get to set the rules so they can be above the law. It doesn't matter that Trump insiders are discussing the criminal elements of their acts, Trump gets off because he was president. It doesn't matter that the conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election was personal for Trump, the lawyers are claiming it was an official act because Trump was doing it as president.
The same as with the documents case, they are saying documents that belong to the USA are personal. How? Because trump says so. That is how these people think. There are no lucid definitions of anything so that doubt and confusion can be argued for.
