Attorney claims Trump’s single motion could alter Jack Smith’s ‘Game Over’ situation.
‘Game Over’ for Jack Smith? Attorney Says Trump Can File One Motion That Would Change Everything
According to civil rights attorney Leo Terrell, one legal weapon has the potential to shatter the federal charges against former President Donald Trump. Terrell believes that invoking the Presidential Records Act could be the key to Trump’s fight against the charges brought against him by special prosecutor Jack Smith. In an interview with Fox News, Terrell emphasized the power of this act in dismissing the allegations of mishandling classified documents.
The Presidential Records Act, established in 1978 and amended in the 1990s, grants a president custody and management of their records during their time in office. However, once a president leaves office, the custody of these records is transferred to the Archivist of the United States. Terrell argues that this act exonerates Trump, as he had the authority to declassify any documents in his possession.
Terrell believes that invoking the Presidential Records Act would be a game-changing move for Trump’s legal team. He asserts that the prosecution has failed to respond to this argument because they lack a valid counterargument. Terrell sees this motion as the most crucial step in Trump’s defense.
Terrell also suggests that the prosecution’s goal is to obstruct Trump’s path to the White House. He believes that they are trying to derail the leading Republican candidate and prevent him from becoming the next president. Terrell points to Joe Biden, Merrick Garland, Christopher Wray, the Democratic machine, and the left-wing media as the forces working against Trump.
Last week, Trump’s lawyers requested a trial delay until after the 2024 presidential election. They argued that proceeding with the trial during an election cycle would create challenges in the jury selection process and compromise the defendants’ ability to receive a fair and impartial adjudication. However, prosecutors pushed back against this request, emphasizing the court’s authority to ensure a thorough and effective jury selection process.
As the legal battle continues, the invocation of the Presidential Records Act could be the game-changing move that determines the outcome of the charges against Trump. Will this motion be the key to victory for Trump’s defense team? Only time will tell.
