Summary
In a new court filing, Special Counsel Jack Smith absolutely destroys the efforts by Donald Trump's attorneys to try to remove Judge Tanya Chutkan from presiding over Trump's federal trial in DC for attempting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Glenn says Trump's filing has no merit. Then, Jack Smith has, at long last, filed another motion asking Judge Chutkan to issue an order restricting Donald Trump's speech and posts. Specifically, the proposed gag order requests the following:
"The Government seeks a narrow, well-defined restriction that is targeted at extrajudicial statements that present a serious and substantial danger of materially prejudicing this case. The Government's proposed order specifies that such statements would include (a) statements regarding the identity, testimony, or credibility of prospective witnesses; and (b) statements about any party, witness, attorney, court personnel, or potential jurors that are disparaging and inflammatory, or intimidating."
The only remaining questions are:
1. Will Judge Chutkan issue the order? (She almost certainly will.)
2. What will the judge do WHEN - (not if) - Trump violates the order?

| 0:21.6 | January 6th Federal Prosecution in Washington, D.C. Glenn says special counsel Jack Smith's team |
| 0:28.3 | has filed a scathing reply. So friends a few days ago you may recall we talked about a motion |
| 0:36.0 | that had been filed by Donald Trump's defense attorneys in his Federal Prosecution in Washington, |
| 0:42.8 | D.C., telling the presiding judge Tanya Chukkin that she must recuse herself. She must remove herself |
| 0:52.1 | as the judge presiding over his criminal trial in D.C. That would be the one for his attempt to |
| 0:58.9 | unlawfully, unconstitutionally overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. |
| 1:05.9 | Now as you may recall when we went through that motion it had little to no legal support. |
| 1:13.5 | It had no factual support. In short, there was no there there. |

| 1:58.6 | against the former president saying in a new filing that Trump had taken the judge's comments |
| 2:05.0 | in capital rioter cases out of context in order to manufacture allegations of bias. |
| 2:13.2 | Trump's motion seeking Chukkin's recusal centered on comments that the Obama appointee made |
| 2:20.0 | about the former president during sentencing proceedings for two capital rioter defendants. |
| 2:27.2 | Prosecutors with the special counsel's office said in the filing Thursday that Trump's recusal |
| 2:34.0 | cherry picks Chukkin's comments about him and that the judge's past statements were not evidence |
