MOSCOW, RUSSIA - Former US president Donald Trump will under no circumstances make a deal with prosecutors on charges related to the January 2021 storming of the Capitol, Trump's lawyer, John Lauro, said on Sunday, reported Sputnik.

"No," he told CBS News when asked if there was a condition under which Trump would agree to a deal with prosecutors on charges related to the storming of the Capitol.

"Absolutely, 100 per cent," Lauro added when asked if Trump and his defence would seek a dismissal of the case.

Noting that there are "so many holes" in the prosecution's case, Lauro reiterated his intention to seek a change of venue in the case, suggesting a court in the state of West Virginia as an "excellent venue".
