Trump brands Special Counsel Jack Smith a CRIMINAL, calls for his arrest
By Richard Brown // May 08, 2024

Former President Donald Trump has branded United States Attorney and Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith a criminal and has called for his arrest.

Trump took to his social media platform Truth Social to lambast Smith as a "criminal" and demand swift action in response to revelations that evidence may have been tampered in the case involving the classified documents the Federal Bureau of Investigation supposedly retrieved from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.

The controversy erupted after federal prosecutors conceded discrepancies in the condition of evidence boxes retrieved. These revelations prompted Trump's co-defendant, Walt Nauta, to seek a trial delay, citing challenges in pinpointing specific documents within the compromised evidence.

Trump seized upon the opportunity to escalate his ongoing feud with Smith, characterizing the situation as a blatant attempt to undermine his presidency. Accusing Smith of orchestrating an "Election Interference Scam," Trump painted himself as the victim of a politically motivated witch hunt. (Related: DOJ accused of gross double standard in decision not to file criminal charges against Biden over mishandling of classified documents.)

While Trump's accusations ignited a firestorm of controversy, Smith's office remained conspicuously silent, refraining from public comment amidst mounting scrutiny.

Federal prosecutors attempted to downplay the significance of the evidence discrepancies, attributing them to the logistics of handling sensitive materials.

In response, Trump's legal team continued to press their accusations of systematic malfeasance within the prosecution's ranks. They argued that the integrity of the case had been irreparably compromised, casting doubt on the validity of the whole proceeding.

As the legal drama unfolded, all eyes remained fixed on Judge Aileen Cannon, who was tasked with adjudicating Nauta's request for a trial delay. The trial's start date, originally slated for May 20, hang in limbo as Cannon deliberates on the appropriate course of action in light of the latest developments.

Amid the turmoil, Trump, Nauta and Mar-a-Lago maintenance worker Carlos De Oliveira faced a litany of charges related to the alleged mishandling and obstruction of classified materials. The specter of a prolonged legal battle looms large, casting a shadow of uncertainty over the futures of those involved in the high-stakes legal saga.

Trump has been calling out Smith's criminality for a while now

Over the past couple of years, Trump hasn't held back in expressing his concerns over Smith's continued participation in the trial.

The former president has labeled the prosecutor a "thug" with a "mental state of derangement," among other derogatory terms. He's even gone as far as calling Smith a "mad dog psycho," an "animal" and a "lunatic," and has accused him of orchestrating a "treasonous" investigation deserving of "sanctions."

So, it wasn't surprising when Trump unleashed another round of insults at Smith during a closed-door donor retreat over the weekend. According to reports, Trump referred to Smith as an "evil thug" and "deranged," even going so far as to call him a "f------ a--hole."

This isn't the first time Trump has hinted at legal action against Smith. He previously suggested that Smith "may very well turn out to be a criminal."
