Smith had expressed fears that Trump's"daily" posts on Truth Social, the social media site where the former president frequently denies all wrongdoing regarding the criminal investigations into him, are at risk of tainting a jury pool in the federal probe into the alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
"Such a requirement would grind litigation in this case to a halt, which is particularly infeasible given the pressing matters before the court—including the defendant's daily extra judicial statements that threaten to prejudice the jury pool in this case, as described in the government's motion," Smith's office wrote.
"Jack Smith filed a complaint in the January 6 case alleging that Donald Trump's Truth [Social] posts are potentially tainting the jury pool," Halligan told"Well, I think this 14th amendment stuff is potentially tainting the jury pool. I think the January 6 committee—the fact that that was publicized for everyone to see and it was completely one-sided—that has potentially tainted the jury pool.
