Defense attorneys have accused U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith of intentionally hampering former President Donald Trump’s ability to conduct a presidential campaign and to effectively defend himself in two major criminal trials that could be held within weeks of one another.
At issue is the tight scheduling of two major trials, which President Trump’s defense attorneys say is being purposely engineered by Mr. Smith. The defense team asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District of Florida to intervene in court documents filed on Aug. 18.
