It never stops.
Donald Trump has issued his response to prosecutor Jack Smith’s new motion to limit his public outbursts.
Trump says Smith is deranged — in all caps — and takes swipes at Joe Biden, too.
He doesn’t understand that this kind of post is what Smith is trying to stop. I’m with Trump, I want more of this stuff, sarcastically.
In his motion, Smith references many of the irrational and threatening posts we’ve written about here.
Smith writes in his motion:
“The Government seeks a narrow, well – defined restriction that is targeted at extrajudicial
statements that present a serious and substantial danger of materially prejudicing this case. The
Government’s proposed order specifies that such statements would include (a ) statements
regarding the identity , testimony , or credibility of prospective witnesses ; and (b) statements about any party , witness , attorney , court personnel, or potential jurors that are disparaging and
inflammatory, or intimidating.”
He concludes:
“Consistent with its obligations to guard the integrity of these proceedings and prevent
prejudice to the jury pool, while respecting the defendant’s First Amendment rights, the Court
should enter the proposed orders imposing certain narrow restrictions on the parties public
statements regarding this case and governing any jury studies the parties may undertake.”
