Earlier this month, attorneys for Trump asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Smith in contempt for filing motions ahead of deadlines.
The judge overseeing the federal election interference case against former President Donald Trump has rejected his request to hold special counsel Jack Smith and his office in contempt.
Earlier this month, attorneys for Trump asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to hold Smith in contempt for filing motions while the case is stayed pending Trump’s appeal on presidential immunity grounds.
wow, what desperation. to claim that he should be held in contempt for filing paperwork with the court is fantastic in its absurdity
Not just any paperwork, and not to the court. Smith’s team sent Trump’s team discovery documents. They are literally crying because Smith’s team is giving them requested documents even though they don’t technically have to.

Is it? That’s not what the article seems to say.
Judge also apparently agreed he shouldn’t have done it, but said it also wasn’t a big deal and they were being babies.
More specifically, the Judge said that there was nor order preventing the Gov from filing. She then issued an order to that effect; so if Smith continues doing it, there likely would be a contempt order issued.
