Special counsel Jack Smith urged a judge on Wednesday to bar former President Donald Trump from launching “political attacks” and making "irrelevant" claims in his federal election subversion case in Washington, D.C., including blaming others for the Jan. 6 attack.
“Through public statements, filings, and argument in hearings before the Court, the defense has attempted to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial,” senior assistant special counsel Molly Gaston wrote in the filing.
