Donald Trump’s legal team has requested severe sanctions and potential contempt charges against special counsel Jack Smith and prosecutors for continuing to submit filings in the election subversion case despite a stay order from Judge Tanya Chutkan.
They seek an order for the prosecutors to show cause, withdraw their filings, and be forbidden from submitting further filings.
Trump’s attorneys argue that the prosecutors’ actions are lawless and undermine the integrity of the proceeding, calling for appropriate sanctions to deter further transgressions. (Trending: Trump Announces Heartbreaking Melania-Related Health Update)
Trump’s attorneys wrote, “The Stay Order is clear, straightforward, and unambiguous. All substantive proceedings in this Court are halted.”
“Despite this clarity, the prosecutors began violating the Stay almost immediately,” they continued.
“The Court cannot allow the prosecutors to continue to operate lawlessly, in defiance of well-established protocol and this Court’s authority. The Requested Sanctions are appropriate and likely to deter any further transgressions, and if not, the Court retains the ability to impose more severe sanctions, including dismissal of this action,” wrote Trump’s attorneys in their court filing.
“Such malignant conduct undermines the integrity of this proceeding and warrants severe sanction,” they added.
