CBS News legal contributor Rebecca Roiphe said on Wednesday that arguing special counsel Jack Smith’s evidence brief breaches former President Donald Trump’s right to a fair trial is not “far-fetched” due to the documents’ level of detail.
During an appearance on CBS News, the former Manhattan prosecutor discussed the “unusual” level of detail in the recent filings by Smith that could interfere with Trump’s constitutional right to a fair trial.
In a Tuesday filing, Trump’s legal team accused Smith of political motives for seeking to publicize witness testimony before the election.
“And so, you know, I think that’s worth pausing and mentioning that the former president’s argument that this was interfering with his constitutional right to a fair trial, you know, it’s not a far-fetched argument to make given how much detail is actually in there,” she continued.
Judge Tanya Chutkan released Wednesday a redacted version of Smith’s detailed brief on the evidence concerning former Trump’s alleged election interference.
Dismissing accusations of “bad-faith partisan bias,” Chutkan ordered the 165-page document on presidential immunity to be filed publicly, countering Trump’s legal team’s objections to its release before the election.
