Jack Smith seeks to protect jurors from Trump; informs Judge Chutkan of Judge Engoron's NY gag order [View all]
Special Counsel Jack Smith just filed a motion in Donald Trump's DC prosecution seeking to protect jurors from Donald Trump's dangerous speech and posts.
The "Motion for Fair and Protective Jury Procedures" seeks to have the court use a juror questionnaire to streamline the jury selection process in the DC case, and seeks to prohibit Trump and his lawyers from publicly disclosing the identities of or attempt to communicate with prospective jurors in any way.
Notably, in the motion, Smith lays out Trump's "attack," via a social media post, on New York Judge Engoron's law clerk and the ensuing gag order imposed by the judge.
By informing Judge Chutkan about Trump's most recent dangerous post, Smith seems to be priming the well in advance of the October 16 gag order hearing set in his DC case. - Glenn Kirschner - 10/10/2023.
