"Judge reprimands Jack Smith's team for delaying unrelated Jan. 6 verdict"

A federal judge scolded special counsel Jack Smith's prosecutors for causing a delay in an unrelated Jan. 6 criminal case while they were questioning a Trump-connected witness in the grand jury room. The judge summoned the prosecutors to his courtroom, leading to a bizarre scene. The delay was caused by the late arrival of Klein's attorney, who revealed that he had a client before the grand jury being asked questions related to executive privilege. The incident highlights the ongoing investigation into Trump's conduct surrounding the 2020 election and the Capitol violence on Jan. 6. The judge criticized the Justice Department for not ensuring that the grand jury matters would not interfere with the ongoing trial.
