In bringing the case, #Smith appears to be continuing to take a #careful #approach, charging dozens of counts but #deferring to Trump’s legal team in other ways that are unusual, compared with how the Justice Department treats most federal criminal defendants facing similar charges.
Prosecutors, for example, didn’t seek to have Trump detained during his arraignment last week and requested #few #restrictions on his release, allowing him to #travel and keep his #passport. By then, of course, Trump was a declared candidate, and the front-runner, for the Republican 2024 presidential nomination.
