In a late October filing, Trump’s legal team argued certain portions of the indictment “include repeated references to the actions of independent actors at the Capitol on January 6, 2021” and “does not charge President Trump with responsibility for any of these actions,” so therefore, they are “not relevant” and “prejudicial and inflammatory.”
“Therefore, the Court should strike these allegations from the Indictment,” Trump’s team argued.
Smith pushed back on Trump’s argument of the portions being “prejudicial and inflammatory” in his own filing earlier this month.
“The allegations in the indictment are not unduly prejudicial or inflammatory,” Smith said in an early November filing. “In fact, evidence of the attack at the Capitol on January 6 is powerful and probative evidence of the defendant’s conduct, motive, and intent. The Court should deny the defendant’s motion.”
