Trump&#8217;s re-election campaign is now seeking to \u2062hold Smith in contempt of court.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s lawyers point to stay of \u200dproceedings<\/h3>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s lawyers have pointed to a <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148\/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148.186.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stay<\/a> of the proceedings granted by\u200d U.S.\u200b District Judge\u200d Tanya Chutkan, an \u2062Obama appointee. This stay was granted after Trump&#8217;s legal \u200cteam appealed the rejection of their request to dismiss the case. \u2063Despite the appeal being taken up by the \u2063D.C. Circuit Court of \u2064Appeals, \u200cSmith&#8217;s team continued making submissions, which Trump&#8217;s attorneys argue is \u200ca violation of the stay.<\/p>\n<p>According to Trump&#8217;s legal \u2062team, prosecutors violated the stay \u2064by serving discovery\u2062 documents and a draft exhibit list. \u2064They also filed a motion filled with\u2064 &#8220;partisan rhetoric, including \u2062false\u2063 claims.&#8221; Trump&#8217;s lawyers argue that the prosecutors are using the stay\u2063 to spread political propaganda and convert the court&#8217;s docket into an arm of President\u200c Joe Biden&#8217;s re-election campaign.<\/p>\n<h3>Trump&#8217;s lawyers seek contempt charges<\/h3>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s lawyers have asked the federal court in Washington, D.C., to hold the prosecutors in contempt. They \u2064are requesting that the prosecutors show cause for their \u2062actions, withdraw their\u200c filings, \u200cbe\u200d forbidden from making future productions \u200dwithout court permission, and be \u2064assessed\u2062 monetary\u2062 sanctions for attorneys&#8217; fees and expenses incurred in \u2063the response.<\/p>\n<p>Smith&#8217;s team has \u200cnot yet issued a reply to the filing.<\/p>\n<h3>Presidential immunity issue to be settled<\/h3>\n<p>The Supreme\u200c Court \u200dhas refused\u200d to quickly take up the question of whether presidential immunity provides Trump with broad protections against prosecution. However, a three-judge panel in the federal appeals court is scheduled to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/major-abortion-groups-assemble-file-lawsuit-over-unthinkable-texas-law-allowing-americans-to-sue-abortion-clinics-doctors\/\" title=\"Major Abortion Groups Assemble, File Lawsuit Over \u2018Unthinkable\u2019 Texas Law Allowing Americans To Sue Abortion Clinics, Doctors\">hear oral arguments<\/a> on January 9. The trial is currently set to\u2064 start on\u2062 March 4, one day before \u2062Super Tuesday, but this may change depending on the resolution of the presidential immunity issue.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is\u2062 also facing three other criminal cases and civil litigation as he runs a third campaign \u200cfor the White House. He has denied any wrongdoing and claims that politically motivated\u200b prosecutors are conducting\u200b a &#8220;witch \u200bhunt&#8221;\u200d against\u200c him.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Rather than respect the rule of law, Jack Smith unilaterally\u2063 decided to disobey the\u2064 stay order \u2062and \u2062continue with his harassing litigation, all done in order to keep parroting the pathetic \u2064Biden\u2062 Campaign&#8217;s corrupt talking points in the name of election interference,&#8221; said Trump spokesperson Steven \u2064Cheung.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ \u200dAPP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How \u200dhas the alleged bias of Jack Smith affected the investigation\u200c into Trump?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Y as a platform to make inflammatory statements against Trump and to continue their investigation into him, despite the court order to pause proceedings.<\/p>\n<h3>Accusations of bias<\/h3>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s legal team also\u2063 accuses special counsel Jack Smith of bias in his handling\u200d of the case. They claim that\u2064 Smith has shown\u2063 a clear bias against Trump and his supporters, which has influenced his conduct throughout the investigation. They point to Smith&#8217;s previous statements and actions that they argue demonstrate \u2062his prejudice\u2062 against Trump. Trump&#8217;s lawyers argue that this bias has clouded Smith&#8217;s judgement and has led to the violation of the court order.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2063 a statement, Trump&#8217;s lawyers said, &#8220;We believe that Mr. Smith has abused his authority\u2062 and has shown a complete disregard for the rule of law. His actions\u2064 have undermined\u2063 the integrity of the judicial process and have infringed upon the rights of our client. We will\u2064 not stand idly by while our client&#8217;s constitutional rights are trampled upon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Seeking contempt of court<\/h3>\n<p>In response to the alleged violations of the court order, Trump&#8217;s\u2064 re-election campaign has filed \u2064a motion seeking to hold Jack Smith in contempt of court. They argue \u2062that \u2064Smith&#8217;s actions have constituted a breach of the stay and have disrupted the\u200b fairness and impartiality of the legal proceedings. Trump&#8217;s lawyers are seeking appropriate sanctions against Smith, which may include fines, reprimands, or even his removal from \u200dthe case.<\/p>\n<p>It remains to be seen how the court will respond to these accusations and whether any action will be taken against Jack \u200cSmith. \u2063However, this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/clearly-retaliatory-irs-whistleblowers-team-taken-off-hunter-biden-probe\/\" title=\"IRS whistleblower's team removed from Hunter Biden investigation in an apparent act of retaliation.\">latest development adds<\/a> another layer\u2062 of controversy to \u2064an already highly contentious legal battle between Donald \u200cTrump and the prosecutors pursuing the case against him. \u2064As the case continues to unfold, the question of impartiality and adherence to the\u2063 rule of law will be closely scrutinized.<\/p>\n<p>It is\u2062 important to note that these are allegations made by Trump&#8217;s legal\u2064 team and\u200d have not been proven in court. The U.S. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-set-to-be-first-southern-state-to-abolish-death-penalty\/\" title=\"Virginia Set To Be First Southern State To Abolish Death Penalty\">justice system operates<\/a> on the principle of \u2063innocence until proven guilty, and it is up to the court to determine the \u200bveracity of these accusations.
