President Trump once again asked Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Special Counsel Jack Smith in contempt for violating her order staying all proceedings in the January 6 case against Trump.
Last month Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan paused Trump’s January 6 case in DC amid a dispute over the former president’s immunity argument.
“The prosecutors’ filings and productions, Docs 188, 191, attempt to achieve both of those unlawful goals,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a motion accusing Jack Smith of “knowingly, repeatedly and blatantly violating this Court’s Stay Order.”
Trump’s legal counsel accused Jack Smith of illegally filing motions to flood the media with anti-Trump headlines.
“It is not a coincidence that the Biden Campaign, the prosecutors, and “sources” close to the prosecutors are all attempting to simultaneously flood the airwaves with matching anti-Trump rhetoric during the Stay,” Trump’s lawyers wrote.
