"Special Counsel Smith Counters Trump's Contempt Motion in January 6 Legal Battle"
Special counsel Jack Smith's team has countered former President Donald Trump's legal team's motion to hold Smith in contempt for allegedly violating court deadlines. Smith's office asserts they complied with the court's order by continuing to provide discovery as previously scheduled and that Trump's claims of partisanship and misconduct are unfounded. The case is currently on hold while an appeals court reviews Trump's claim of presidential immunity, with a hearing on the matter set for the following week.
