Jack Smith: Trump should be barred from telling jury he was targeted for prosecution by Joe Biden.

JUST IN: Jack Smith, who continues to file things as though March 4 trial date will remain, says Trump should be barred from telling jury he was targeted for prosecution by Joe Biden. It’s not just wrong, he says, but irrelevant to whether evidence proves his innocence or guilt.

Robert Costa: Jack Smith has a sprawling case against former President Donald Trump.

CBS correspondent Robert Costa said his sources revealed that special counsel Jack Smith has a more "sprawling" case against Donald Trump than previously thought.

..................

"Based on our reporting at CBS News, the special counsel has phone records," he explained. "He has memos and diary entries from key witnesses, like former Vice President Mike Pence, key eyewitness testimony from people who are inside the Oval Office with Trump."

"But they had something in the special counsel's office the January 6th Committee never had, which is subpoena power to really go deep with witnesses and not just get public testimony and some depositions," he added. "They've gone deep. And I've talked to people who participated in this investigation as lawyers, sometimes even as witnesses."

"And it's evident to me, based on my conversations with sources, that Jack Smith has a sprawling case against former President Donald Trump," he concluded.

Adam Kinzinger said people should “wear a mask” in Trump’s presence, so bad is his apparent odour.
Kinzinger said: “I’m genuinely surprised how people close to Trump haven’t talked about the odor.
