"Explosive Filing Exposes Trump's Unprecedented Actions and New Evidence"

Special counsel Jack Smith and his team of prosecutors filed a response to former President Donald Trump's efforts to dismiss his Washington, D.C. election subversion case, arguing that Trump engaged in conspiracy and obstruction to overturn valid election results. The filing refutes Trump's claim that his actions were protected political speech, stating that fraudulent speech and speech integral to criminal conduct are not protected by the First Amendment. Smith also signaled plans to introduce new evidence at Trump's trial, which is scheduled to begin on March 4, 2024.
