"Jack Smith's Cell Phone Data: The Key to Exposing Trump"

Special counsel Jack Smith plans to call three witnesses in Donald Trump's federal election subversion trial to present data extracted from Trump's cell phone during his time in the White House. The data will be used to track individuals' movements towards the Capitol on January 6 and analyze Trump's Twitter usage. The information could shed light on Trump's behavior leading up to and following the Capitol riot, as well as reveal who had access to his accounts and devices. The trial is scheduled to begin in March, but Trump's team is attempting to delay it.

"Special Counsel Jack Smith Fights Against Televising Trump Trial Amidst Controversy"

Special counsel Jack Smith opposes the broadcasting of the federal election subversion trial of former President Donald Trump, arguing that federal courts are prohibited from allowing proceedings to be televised or photographed. Media organizations, including CNN, have petitioned the judge overseeing the case to allow broadcasting, citing the historic nature of the trial and arguing that the rule against cameras in federal criminal trials is outdated and violates the First Amendment. Trump's attorney supports the idea of broadcasting the trial, but prosecutors argue that there is no constitutional right to a televised trial and that the rule is in place to ensure the fair administration of justice.

Trump's Federal Election Subversion Trial Set for March 4, Creating Political Chaos

The federal criminal trial of Donald Trump on charges of seeking to subvert the 2020 presidential election will begin on March 4, 2024, one day before the Super Tuesday primary, according to a ruling by US District Judge Tanya Chutkan. The trial date was set after a contentious hearing in which Trump's defense sought a later start date in April 2026, while the special counsel proposed a January 2024 start. The judge considered the defense's need for preparation time and the trial schedules for Trump's other criminal indictments. The trial date overlaps with the one set in New York for charges related to hush money payments.
