Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion in the upcoming trial of former President Donald Trump, seeking to prevent Trump from presenting arguments to the jury that he was targeted for prosecution by President Joe Biden. Smith argues that such claims are both incorrect and irrelevant to the determination of Trump's innocence or guilt. Despite the March 4 trial date being potentially subject to change, with all pretrial deadlines currently on hold, Smith continues to file documents in anticipation of the trial. His motion also seeks to exclude evidence about January 6 security failures from being introduced. This legal maneuver is an attempt to focus the trial strictly on evidence and to keep out what he deems to be partisan political attacks and prejudicial issues. News outlets, including Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, have reported on Smith's efforts to bar these claims from the trial, emphasizing the desire to exclude political arguments and conspiracy theories from the proceedings.
