Trump asks court to hold Jack Smith in contempt for trying to keep trial on track

Raw Story  

Attorneys for former President Donald Trump asked a federal judge to sanction special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday. In a 15-page filing, the attorneys accused Smith and two other federal prosecutors of defying a court's order pausing Trump's federal election subversion trial. The motion noted that one filing from Smith accused Trump of "'propagat irrelevant disinformation' both 'within the courtroom' and 'outside of it.'" "In this manner, the prosecutors seek to weaponize the Stay to spread political propaganda, knowing that President Trump would not fully respond because the Court relieved him of the burdens of litigation during the Stay," Trump's motion said. "The prosecutors have cast these hallowed mandates aside to score cheap political points against President Trump on behalf of the Biden Campaign," the motion concluded.
