Special investigator Jack Smith wasted no time in court as he accused former President Donald Trump of actively trying to mess with the trial date set for March.
Â
As reported by Raw Story on Saturday, November 4, 2023, Smith’s legal document claims that Trump is using two separate moves to mess with the scheduled trial for the election subversion case.
In the filing, Smith argued that Trump’s requests are slyly designed to mess up the trial date and slow down the resolution of this matter.
Pointing out Trump’s consistent use of stalling tactics from the beginning of the case, Smith urged the court to deny both of Trump’s requests and stick to the original trial plan.
Since he got charged, the defendant has always hinted at the possibility of raising different issues with the court while trying to delay actually filing them, Smith stated in the document.
No more delays should be allowed, and the court should use its judgment to reject both requests.
The filing specifically tackles what Smith sees as Trump trying to find excuses to delay the proceedings.
According to Smith, Trump’s criticism of how the government handles email production lacks a solid basis and is just a way to slow down the case further.
The defendant’s misleading criticism of the government’s email production methods shows that he’s searching for reasons to delay the proceedings, Smith argued in the filing.
He countered Trump’s claims about deviations from standard procedures, emphasizing that the government’s approach aligns with best practices for organizing and producing discovery materials.
