Special counsel Jack Smith urged a federal judge on Thursday to reject the latest effort by former President Donald Trump to have his Jan. 6 case dismissed, arguing that the Republican presidential nominee’s attempt is both “untimely and without merit.”
In a filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Smith told U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan—who is overseeing Trump’s Jan. 6 case—that Trump failed to file the challenge in a timely manner, despite having filed a similar challenge in a separate case in the Southern District of Florida.
