Donald Trump on Friday saw criticism online after one of his legal filings in his D.C. elections criminal case was deemed hypocritical.
Trump, who won a stay of the election subversion case while he appeals to find out if his presidential immunity defense will be allowed, recently requested Special Counsel Jack Smith be hit with sanctions for continuing to file on the docket while the case is stayed. Smith responded to that filing, and Trump on Friday evening hit back in a filing of his own.
"Although the prosecutors generically deny a political motivation, such words are empty," the filing states. It claims that the prosecutors' filings "closely mirror the Biden Campaign's dishonest talking points--a fact the prosecutors do not and cannot deny."
But the fact that Trump, too, continues to file motions on the docket seems not to have escaped some, including legal expert Allison Gill.

"NEW: Trump continues to file on the DC docket complaining about how it’s wrong to file on the DC docket," Gill wrote on Friday. "What a tool."
In the comments, some onlookers took direct aim at the former president.
"Keep calling him out," one comment reads. Another simply says, "Bless his heart."
"Biggest whiner ever," another commenter says in reference to Trump.
