Firebrand Florida Congressman and staunch Trump supporter Matt Gaetz (R-FL) has returned fire in the case against the former president brought by Biden Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith. Gaetz is alleging the prosecutor is trying to influence the 2024 General Election unfairly by pushing for an early start date for the criminal trials against the GOP frontrunner.\"Matt\"Matt1,500 \u00d7 750<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Gaetz asserts that Smith essentially admits the case against President Trump is political by pushing SCOTUS for a rapid review of Trump\u2019s immunity claim, stating<\/a> \u201cpublic importance\u201d<\/em> to the case<\/a>, \u201cwithout once explicitly stating why the rapidity is warranted, or what the public importance is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

ep. Gaetz wrote that federal prosecutors<\/a> \u201cmay never select the timing of any action, including investigative steps, criminal charges, or statements, for the purpose of affecting any election, or for the purpose of giving an advantage or disadvantage to any candidate or political party.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Gaetz told The Daily Wire on Wednesday that Smith\u2019s pursuit of Trump is clearly political.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Gaetz added<\/a>: \u201cThe witch hunt against President Trump by Attorney General Garland and Special Counsel Smith is a partisan exercise, and the American people know it. The actions of the Special Counsel Smith to speed up the trial against President Trump violate the DOJ\u2019s rules and the law. His public comments and his office\u2019s briefs before the Supreme Court demonstrate that he has no reason for his actions other than to unlawfully interfere in the 2024 presidential election.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
