Special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion Sunday asking to respond to "demands" filed Friday by former President Donald Trump's lawyers to have a fully televised trial, since Smith's previous filing on the matter was based on their saying they had "no position.""The government sought the defendant's position on the applications, and his counsel requested that the government represent to the Court that he took no position," Smith wrote.
"The defendant's response did not engage with the relevant Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure or cite any applicable caselaw, and instead made false and incendiary claims about the administration of his criminal case, United States v. Trump, No. 23-cr-257 ," Smith's filing read. "The government requests an opportunity to respond to the defendant's claims and is prepared to file its proposed reply, which is four pages, immediately upon receiving leave from the court.
Smith's filing further states, "The Government sought the positions of the applicants and the defendant on this motion for leave to file. The defendant objects. NBC Universal Media, LLC, does not object. The Media Coalition wants the opportunity to address any issues raised by the Government's reply in its reply that is currently due on November 17, and accordingly does not object as long as the Government files its reply by November 14.
