Lawyers for Donald Trump oppose federal prosecutors' efforts to streamline legal arguments and limit appeals in his 2020 election interference case. They argue that special counsel Jack Smith’s proposal to file an oversized brief would improperly influence the 2024 election, describing it as a "false hit piece." Prosecutors claim the lengthy filing addresses Supreme Court concerns about presidential immunity and aims to reduce the number of appeals. Trump’s team urged Judge Tanya Chutkan to reject the proposal, calling it "a monstrosity."
