Earlier this month, attorneys for Trump asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Smith in contempt for filing motions ahead of deadlines.
The judge overseeing the federal election interference case against former President Donald Trump has rejected his request to hold special counsel Jack Smith and his office in contempt.
Earlier this month, attorneys for Trump asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Smith in contempt for filing motions while the case is stayed pending Trump’s appeal on presidential immunity grounds.
I imagine they are upset that it will prevent them from stalling further on the grounds that “they just received all of this material and we’ll need time to go through it all!”
I’m sure they were hoping the appeal with buy them time then they’d try to get more time once they got the discovery. Jack Smith just blew up that dumb charade.
