Lawyers File Desperate Plea to Judge Chutkan to STOP Smith Revealing TRUMPs J6 Cr
TRUMPs Lawyers File Desperate Motion Trying to STOP Jack Smith From Revealing TRUMPs J6 Crimes
Trump Attorneys Ask Judge Chutkan To Stop Jack Smith From Making Case In Court Of Public Opinion Before Election
AP 22 SEP 2024
Special counsel Jack Smith should not be allowed to make an important public filing in his election interference case against former president Donald Trump while there are lingering evidence disputes, Trumps attorneys told the judge Thursday.
His attorneys urged Judge Tanya Chutkan, who set a schedule allowing prosecutors to file the first brief on presidential immunity Sept. 26, to reconsider her decision. Without addressing ongoing evidence issues, Smiths filing would amount to an improper motion for summary judgment in the court of public opinion? ahead of the election, they argued.
Trumps attorneys noted there are ongoing discovery violations in this case that implicate Presidential immunity and other strong defenses, including the Offices failure to produce exculpatory evidence concerning the flaws with this prosecution and the Offices false allegations.
They said prosecutors conducted their evidence review at a time when they wholly denied the existence of Presidential immunity, before the Supreme Courts July 1 decision finding former presidents immune from prosecution for official acts taken in office.
Trump Makes UNHINGED Threat Ahead of Election
Trump over the weekend threatened to prosecute AND JAIL donors, lawyers and elections officials who he claimed cheate in the 2020 election or who engaged in behaviour he deemed unscrupulous
And he elevated a dubious claim about fraud involving mail-in ballots in Pennsylvania, echoing rhetoric he used to cast doubt on the 2020 results.
Republican critics viewed Trumps most recent posts as a blaring warning sign about how Trump may react to Novembers results, win or lose.
As we head into the debate, an extreme and unhinged Donald Trump is further ratcheting up his dangerous threats of revenge and retribution
The Supreme Courts recent decision established important parameters for the procedural and substantive consideration of this defense that the Office could not possibly have accounted for when the bulk of discovery was collected and produced Trumps attorneys wrote.
