Trump calls for Jack Smith's punishment for criticizing judge in classified documents case
Source: NBC News
Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said special counsel Jack Smith should be punished for issuing a scathing critique of a recent request for jury instruction proposals by the judge overseeing Trump's classified documents case.
Smith should be sanctioned or censured for the way he is attacking a highly respected Judge, Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over his FAKE Documents Hoax case in Florida, Trump wrote in a post to his Truth Social platform. He is a lowlife who is nasty, rude, and condescending, and obviously trying to play the ref.
In a court filing Tuesday, Smith slammed Cannons order for dueling jury instructions from his office and Trumps lawyers, arguing the request is based on a fundamentally flawed legal premise that would distort the trial, potentially leading to a directed verdict for Trump. Smith signaled that federal prosecutors would appeal if the judge rules against their request to promptly decide whether the legal premise of her order constitutes a correct formulation of the law.
Cannon had instructed Trump and Smiths office to turn in two versions of proposed jury instructions concerning the Presidential Records Act in connection with the charges brought against Trump under the Espionage Act alleging that he mishandled classified documents. The Presidential Records Act underpins a key element of Trumps defense, which argues that the law gives him the authority to decide whether documents are considered personal or presidential, and thus whether he can retain them after leaving office. Smiths office disputes that legal interpretation as false. The law itself requires presidential records to be archived, aside from personal records such as diaries, journals, and medical records.
