Trump Team Files Emergency Motion to Block Another Jack Smith Report

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : The Government notably continued briefing the appeal even following the dismissal of the appeal as to President Trump.
31% : The move was widely viewed as an effort to sidestep delays in the trial, and to influence the election, as Trump had no opportunity in court to rebut the claims that Smith had made, nor could Smith's evidence be cross-examined.
19% : In October, barely a month before the election, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presided over the so-called "January 6" case against Trump in Washington, D.C., allowed Smith to file, and later released, a massive 165-page motion full of allegations against Trump.
17% : Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, threw out Smith's prosecution of Trump in the so-called "documents" case, which was already riddled with procedural problems, last July.
16% : Trump's legal team argued that Smith therefore has no authority to issue a report, and that doing so would not only hurt Trump, but would also damage the remaining two defendants in the case, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira.
