and tonight, donald trump s criminal defense team is renewing its requests for judge tanya chutkan to hold special counsel jack smith in contempt of court. with the election interference case currently on hold while trump s immunity claims get worked out in a federal appeals court, trump s lawyers lot of activity in the case halted, even the routine filing of documents which jacks mitt s team has said is permissible because it does not require the trump team to do anything. the motion to punish a jack smith for something that he is not prohibitive from even doing is yet another example of how donald trump has always referred to live in the world of alternative facts. with that strategy, it s on a collision course with the courtroom reality. that s what we saw this week as the disgraced former presidents that up for just a few minutes, in his own defense and the new york attorney generals civil fraud trial, when trump rambled, dissembled and presented himself as usual, as a
man. today after being called a gutless paid, bill barr went on cbs with a damning assessment of his former boss. saying trump s look at a fight nine-year-old. that trump is all but a victim. that the indictment against him is not government overreach. do you believe he lied to the justice department? and personally, do i believe. it yes. the legal theory by which he gets to have battle plans, and sensitive national security information as his personal papers is absurd. it s just as wacky as the legal doctrine that came up with for having the vice president unilaterally determine who won the election. obviously, these documents are really private. it s obvious. it s obvious. and yet, whatever obviously maybe it will put our court system to the test in the months to come. for numerous reasons. it s classified documents case highlights the danger of partisan judicial appointments. a judge, trump appointed, helped him delay the doj s investigation now oversees this trial.

the country, including a former president, was the subject of a hearing today in a federal courthouse in washington, d.c. attorneys for donald trump and federal prosecutors argued over trump s claim that the federal election case against him should be dismissed because everything he did in the postelection period was in his official capacity as president. the three-judge panel that is hearing the case appeared spectacle of that claim. the ex-president and jack smith were in the courtroom today. trump has been claiming that president joe biden has been forcing him to appear in court, which is not true, he did have no obligation to appear at today s hearing. trump s attorney argued that allowing the prosecution of donald trump would, quote, open a pandora s box, but the judge has pushed back on that and many of the arguments he was making. trump s lawyer also argued that the president could only be prosecuted if he was impeached and convicted by the senate first, no matter what
