Good morning, I'm Taylor Wilson, and this is five things you need to know Tuesday, the 8th of August, 2023.

Today, Trump's attack on the judge in his election fraud case,

plus another Minneapolis police officer has been convicted in the killing of George Floyd,

and we examine the link between smell and memory.

Former President Donald Trump has launched an attack against the federal prosecutor and judge in his January 6 election fraud case,

and his legal team responded yesterday to a 5 p.m. deadline,

surrounding a proposed protective order that would limit what evidence Trump can publicly share in the case.

I spoke with USA Today, domestic security correspondent Josh Meyer, for more.

Howdy, Josh. Thanks for having on.

Of course, thanks for having me.

So Trump has launched a new attack on the judge and prosecutor in his January 6 case.

What is he saying specifically, Josh?

On Friday, Trump took to truth social media and said,

if you go after me, I'm coming after you.

That prompted the Justice Department and the special counsel to seek a protective order trying to rein Trump in

and saying that he can't really just talk about the evidence and threat and witnesses and so forth.

The judge in the case gave Trump's lawyers until 5 o'clock to respond, and in the meantime,

Trump took to truth social again and said basically that he's not getting a fair shake,

that they're unfair to him.

And he said, deranged Jack Smith, who's the special counsel, of course,

is going before his number one draft pick, the judge of his dreams, who must be recused,

in an attempt to take away my first amendment rights.
