Jack Smith says he will seek speedy trial in Trump classified documents case -
“It’s very important for me to note that the defendants in this case must be presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law,” he said in his first remarks since Mr. Trump’s indictment was unsealed earlier Friday. “To that end, my office will seek a speedy trial in this matter, consistent with the public interest and the rights of the accused.”
Just moments before Mr. Smith’s statement, Mr. Trump took to social media and attacked him. Mr. Smith described the prosecutor as “deranged” and a “Trump Hater” who shouldn’t be involved in any case “having to do with Justice.” “Our laws that protect national defense information are critical to the safety and security of the United States and they must be enforced,” Mr. Smith said. Violations of those laws put our country at risk.”
“We have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone,” Mr. Smith said, adding that his office collected facts and applied those laws during their investigation.
