Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith warned Tuesday that former President Donald Trump’s “daily” statements risk tainting a jury pool in Washington in the criminal case charging him with scheming to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

The downside of former President Donald Trump’s deciding to employ a political strategy, aimed at maximizing the chance of his reelection in November 2024, rather than a purely legal strategy — aimed at maximizing the chances of his acquittal on criminal charges — came into sharp relief on Monday.

Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty on Thursday and sought to sever his case from some other defendants who are accused along with him of illegally trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.

Donald Trump defended his real estate empire and his presidency in a face-to-face clash with the New York attorney general suing him for fraud, testifying at a closed-door grilling in April that his company is flush with cash — and claiming he saved “millions of lives” by deterring nuclear war when he was president.

Former President Trump said on social media Monday that he will turn himself in to Fulton County, Ga., law enforcement on Thursday on charges brought over efforts to overturn Georgia’s 2020 election results.
