It is not a legal term as in it is not something lawyers use. It is a bullshit term. And it means “lies.” If an attorney tried to use that term in court, I cannot even imagine how quickly the judge would shove their gavel up the lawyer’s ass. There is no such thing as an alternative fact. Facts are facts.
If facts are in dispute, then you talk about them being in dispute. There are many terms we use to do that. But if the facts are in dispute, they aren’t alternative facts. Someone is wrong and someone is right. The jury decides who to believe.
Pardon my language, but the concept is entirely too 1984 for me and I really don’t think it is appropriate.
