Trump Lawyer Calls for Investigation into Special Counsel Jack Smith's Charges as 'Theatrics'

Former President Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, called for Special Counsel Jack Smith to be investigated, dismissing all charges against Trump as "theatrics" and politically motivated. Habba stated that the charges are an attempt to hinder Trump ahead of the 2024 presidential election. She also mentioned that Trump plans to push back the trial dates, which are currently set for early 2024. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested an earlier trial date for her case. Trump's recent surrender and mugshot in Georgia have resulted in his campaign raising $7.1 million. Trump is the first former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges, with four indictments against him.
