Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are pushing back against efforts by federal prosecutors to streamline arguments and potential appeals in his 2020 election interference case, arguing they could improperly influence the 2024 race for the White House.

In papers filed Monday in federal court in Washington, defense attorneys contended that special counsel Jack Smith’s plans to file an oversized brief about whether certain Trump actions from his presidency were official or unofficial acts is improper and should not be allowed.

    America deserves to know if they’re voting for a candidate guilty of enabling an insurrection.

    It was literally televised. We all saw him do it, and I’m in another country. How the fucker isn’t in prison a hundred times over at this point is insane.

      While yes, absolutely we all saw this, he deserves his trial just like any other criminal. More importantly the American public deserves the disgusting gritty details that will be revealed.
