Trump slams Jack Smith filing in DC election case: Deep State 'freaking out'

Former President Donald Trump on Wednesday excoriated special counsel Jack Smith's latest filing in the DC election case arguing that he should not enjoy presidential immunity from the Department of Justice's renewed indictment.

Smith on Wednesday submitted a filing to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, arguing that Trump's alleged conduct should not fall under the scope of presidential immunity the Supreme Court established earlier this year.

"The release of this falsehood-ridden, Unconstitutional, J6 brief immediately following Tim Walz’s disastrous Debate performance, and 33 days before the Most Important Election in the History of our Country, is another obvious attempt by the Harris-Biden regime to undermine and Weaponize American Democracy, and INTERFERE IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION," Trump posted on Truth Social.

"Deranged Jack Smith, the hand picked Prosecutor of the Harris-Biden DOJ, and Washington, D.C. based Radical Left Democrats, are HELL BENT on continuing to Weaponize the Justice Department in an attempt to cling to power," he continued. “'TRUMP' is dominating the Election cycle, leading in the Polls, and the Radical Democrats throughout the Deep State are totally 'freaking out.' This entire case is a Partisan, Unconstitutional, Witch Hunt, that should be dismissed, entirely, just like the Florida case was dismissed!"

Trump has long maintained that Smith's indictment is part of a broader political effort to use the Department of Justice to derail his 2024 bid for the White House. He has pleaded not guilty to a revised set of charges that Smith filed after the Supreme Court decision.
