'Could end up hurting him': Expert warns Trump's next move puts D.C. trial before election

Raw Story  

If Donald Trump attempts to get his election subversion case tossed he could compel Special Counsel Jack Smith to lean out his indictment and bring a trial ahead of the general election. He noted that if Trump tries to tap into Friday's Supreme Court decision, where the justices voted in favor of sparing some Jan. 6 defendants of obstruction charges — it could blow up in his face. "If he were to make the argument Jack Smith should drop two charges – it could end up hurting him and backfiring; hurting Donald Trump." Goodman noted that Jack Smith has no need to be worried because Trump's other charges related to the fake electors scheme are still viable.
