Trump's Attorney Challenges Special Counsel's Funding Legitimacy

Donald Trump looks focused.

During a recent court session, Donald Trump's attorney, Emil Bove, raised concerns about the funding of special counsel Jack Smith's office. Bove argued that Smith's office has been in violation of funding statutes since its establishment, stating that there is no valid appropriation supporting the funding. He emphasized that the lack of a funding cap raises further questions about the legitimacy of the funding process.

Judge Aileen Cannon, presiding over the case, posed a crucial question to Bove regarding the funding limitations. Bove responded by confirming that there is no cap on the funding, highlighting this as a reason for the court to exercise caution in assessing the funding mechanisms of Smith's office.
