Smith claimed Trump “willfully caused” his supporters to try and obstruct the certification of the 2020 election on January 6th.
“Those allegations link the defendant’s actions on January 6 directly to his efforts to corruptly obstruct the certification proceeding,” Smith’s team wrote.
The filing went on, “Contrary to the defendant’s claim … that he bears no factual or legal responsibility for the ‘events on January 6,’ the superseding indictment plainly alleges that the defendant willfully caused his supporters to obstruct and attempt to obstruct the proceeding by summoning them to Washington, D.C., and then directing them to march to the Capitol to pressure the Vice President and legislators to reject the legitimate certificates and instead rely on the fraudulent electoral certificates.”

Smith, as expected, argues that encouraging the creation of alternative electoral certificates meets the new burden of 1512c2 in SCOTUS Fischer opinion 😂 pic.twitter.com/IdyVVcPhXA
The corrupt Deep State destroying America has repeatedly tried to imprison Trump while simultaneously claiming the 45th President will abuse the judicial system to weaponize the government against his political opponents if re-elected in November.
Speaking to a Pennsylvania crowd on Tuesday, Sleepy Joe Biden expressed a desire to see Trump thrown in jail.
Biden weaponized the DOJ to go after Trump and is openly gloating about hoping Trump goes to prison. These are the people who call us a threat to Democracy. pic.twitter.com/g4xqDMnb0J
