Trump claims 'errand boy' Jack Smith's new filing in D.C. case is 'illegal'

The former president ranted about Special Counsel Jack Smith’s potentially damning new court filing in an oddly-capitalized and run-on sentence-ridden screed posted Wednesday to Truth Social.

“Crooked Joe Biden’s errand boy, Deranged Jack Smith, is obsessed with attacking your favorite President, me, and with interfering in the 2024 Presidential Election, which I am Dominating,” Trump declared, before addressing the new motion filed by Smith's team.

“Today’s pathetic motion is not just Illegal, it is also another Unconstitutional attempt to take away my First Amendment Rights, and to prevent me from saying the TRUTH — that all of these Hoaxes are nothing but a political persecution of me, the MAGA Movement, and the Republican Party by Crooked Joe and his Despicable Thugs.”

Trump then declared himself the victim of “The Radical Left Communists, Marxists, and Fascists” who he believes are attempting to silence him.

The former president is the subject of gag orders tied to the racist and violent threats court officials received after Trump blasted them online.

Trump also argued that his opponents in the courtroom are “petrified.”

But when MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin took a look at Smith’s Wednesday filing, which seeks to stop Trump from spinning conspiracy theories in court, she hinted it was the former president who should be worried.

“The government is making clear they have testimony from Trump lawyers and/or members of Congress,” Rubin wrote. “Gulp.”

Rubin notes that Judge Tanya Chutkan placed a stay on court proceedings until a higher court decides whether Trump can argue presidential immunity in the Washington D.C. case.

“Smith et al promised they would keep meeting their pre-trial deadlines, to Team Trump’s angry rebuke, which amounted to, ‘A stay means a stay,’” Rubin wrote.

That message appears more bluntly in Trump’s Wednesday message.

“Deranged Jack is so Viciously and Desperately Angry that the Supreme Court just unanimously rejected his flailing attempt to rush this Witch Hunt, that he is ignoring the Law and clear instructions from the D.C. Court that this ‘case’ should be stayed, and there cannot be any more filings,” wrote Trump in the posting.

“The American People don’t want them destroying our Country," Trump concluded. "Make America Great Again!”
