Attorney claims Trump’s single motion could alter Jack Smith’s ‘Game Over’ situation.

‘Game ⁣Over’ ‍for ⁣Jack ‌Smith? Attorney ‍Says⁢ Trump⁣ Can⁤ File​ One Motion ‌That Would ​Change Everything

According to civil ⁤rights attorney ⁣Leo Terrell, one legal ⁣weapon has​ the⁤ potential to shatter the federal‍ charges against ⁣former President Donald Trump. Terrell believes​ that⁢ invoking ‌the Presidential Records⁣ Act could ‌be the key​ to ​Trump’s fight⁢ against‌ the ‌charges brought against him by ⁢special​ prosecutor Jack ⁢Smith. ⁢In‍ an interview⁣ with​ Fox News,⁣ Terrell⁢ emphasized the power of ⁢this ‌act in‍ dismissing the⁢ allegations of mishandling⁤ classified ​documents.

The Presidential Records⁤ Act, established in 1978 ⁣and ⁢amended in⁤ the⁤ 1990s, grants a ⁣president custody and management ‍of ⁣their ⁢records during their ⁤time in office. However, ⁣once​ a president leaves ‌office, the custody ⁤of‌ these ​records is‌ transferred to‌ the ​Archivist⁣ of the ⁢United States.​ Terrell ‌argues‌ that ⁣this act‍ exonerates⁤ Trump, as he had⁣ the authority to declassify any⁤ documents in his possession.

Terrell⁢ believes that invoking the ‌Presidential Records Act would​ be ‍a game-changing move for Trump’s⁢ legal‌ team.‍ He ⁤asserts ​that​ the ‍prosecution has‌ failed to respond to this argument⁣ because​ they lack a valid⁣ counterargument. Terrell sees this ⁤motion⁣ as ⁣the ⁤most ‍crucial step ⁤in‌ Trump’s defense.

Terrell ⁣also ⁢suggests that the ⁢prosecution’s goal ‍is to⁣ obstruct⁢ Trump’s path​ to the ⁢White ‌House. He ⁢believes ‌that ⁤they ​are⁤ trying​ to derail ​the leading ⁤Republican candidate and prevent ​him from ‌becoming‌ the ⁣next president.⁤ Terrell⁢ points​ to​ Joe ⁣Biden,​ Merrick Garland,‌ Christopher Wray,​ the Democratic machine, and ‍the⁣ left-wing media as‌ the​ forces working ⁤against ⁢Trump.

Last week, Trump’s‍ lawyers⁣ requested a trial​ delay until after the‌ 2024 presidential ​election. They⁤ argued that proceeding⁣ with⁢ the trial during ⁤an ​election ​cycle would‍ create challenges in ‍the jury selection process ⁢and ‍compromise the⁤ defendants’⁢ ability to receive ‍a ​fair and impartial adjudication. However, prosecutors ⁤pushed back ⁣against this request, emphasizing the ​court’s authority to​ ensure a thorough⁣ and effective jury selection process.

As ⁣the legal battle⁢ continues, the invocation ⁢of the Presidential Records‌ Act ‍could ⁢be the game-changing move ‌that determines ​the outcome of the charges against Trump. Will⁣ this ⁢motion⁤ be the⁤ key​ to victory⁣ for ⁢Trump’s defense team?⁣ Only‌ time ‌will tell.
