Jack Smith cites Truth Social post in arguing for quick court order on evidence sharing as Twice Impeached rails against election charges
It sure didn’t take ole Twice Impeached long to violate the pre-trial conditions imposed by Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya in yesterday’s arraignment. Jack Smith posted, “And in recent days, regarding this case, the defendant has issued multiple posts—either specifically or by implication—including the following, which the defendant posted just hours ago,” the special counsel’s office wrote, including a screenshot of the Truth Social post from Trump that read: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”
This could result in pre-trial confinement for Trump.
As it is, Smith is asking for: the judge to quickly set strict limits on what Donald Trump’s team can do with the evidence that will be shared with them in the discovery phase of the election subversion case against the former president, so prosecutors are requesting a rule barring Trump’s lawyers from providing copies to Trump of discovery materials deemed “sensitive,” which include grand jury materials and witness interviews. Twice Impeached is allowed to be shown such materials, under the rules proposed by the prosecutors, however, he would be barred from taking down any personal identifying information from the documents.
Such an order is relatively common in DC, so any defense that Trump or his lawyers try to make that he is being persecuted would be quickly struck down.
