Irritated by a late Friday request to bar Donald Trump from falsely saying the feds who raided Mar-a-Lago were authorized to assassinate him, the former president’s lawyers want the Special Counsel’s Office sanctioned for running afoul of local rules and ignoring the judge’s “prior warnings.”
Attorneys Todd Blanche and Christopher Kise, pointing out that U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon already told special counsel Jack Smith months ago that “meaningful conferral” with the defense is needed and that “non-compliant notices or unauthorized filings will be stricken,” asked the jurist to “make civil contempt findings” and issue sanctions for “unsupported histrionics.”
