Trump Seeks Contempt Ruling Against Special Counsel Jack Smith Amid Legal Battle

Donald Trump's legal team has filed a motion to hold special counsel Jack Smith in contempt for allegedly violating a stay order by continuing to file motions in the case against Trump regarding the 2020 election subversion. Trump's attorneys argue that Smith's actions disrespect the rule of law and are seeking the court to enforce the stay and potentially impose monetary sanctions on the prosecutors. The case is currently paused while Trump's challenge to his immunity from the charges is considered by the courts, with the DC appeals court set to hear the immunity claim soon. Trump faces a total of 91 criminal counts across four separate cases and maintains his innocence.
