Special Counsel Jack Smith has quietly withdrawn a subpoena seeking records from former President Trump’s 2020 campaign as their investigation of whether his campaign committed any crimes continues.
This week, more than a year into their investigation, Smith’s office dropped the subpoena request from Trump’s campaign following the withdrawal of a similar subpoena to Save America, the PAC formed by Trump’s aides.
His campaign raised nearly $250 million despite claims the election was “stolen.”

The rescinding of the subpoenas to Donald J. Trump for President Inc. and Save America indicated that Smith’s office was slowing or even ending its months-long investigation into whether Trump’s political operation violated any laws by using election fraud claims to raise funds. The retraction of the subpoena for Save America was first reported by The Washington Post last week. Smith’s team has been attempting to find out, for more than a year, whether Trump and his advisers violated federal wire fraud statutes in their fund-raising, following a path initially followed by the House select committee investigating the events of January 6, 2021.

As reported earlier – Far left Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed another gag order on Donald Trump on
Obama- appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan placed a gag order on President Donald Trump, the leading presidential candidate in the 2024 presidential election, earlier this month.
This is complete lawlessness. Even the far-left ACLU later filed a brief arguing the that an overly-broad gag order imposed on Donald J. Trump in an ongoing election interference case violates the First Amendment.
Chutkan’s initial gag order on Trump was worse than we thought.
According to Chutkan’s gag order, Trump cannot criticize Special Counsel Jack Smith or any of his prosecutors – even if Trump is telling the truth!
Trump cannot criticize Jack Smith or any of his prosecutors or staffers, any of the Court’s staff or supporting personnel or any ‘witnesses.’
On October 20, Chutkan then paused the gag order on Trump. Chutkan agreed to temporarily pause her own gag order in the DOJ’s January 6 case while Trump and Jack Smith submit appeal briefs.

Donald Trump is facing four criminal cases and has made disparaging comments about prosecutors in each of them.
Published October 29,2023
WASHINGTON Oct 29 – A federal judge on Sunday reinstated a gag order she imposed on Donald Trump in the Washington case accusing him of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat, denying his bid for a stay pending appeal.
The order prohibited Trump from targeting the special counsel prosecuting his case or witnesses who might be called to testify about his efforts to upend his election loss.
US District Judge Tanya Chutkan imposed the gag order at the Justice Department’s request.
She temporarily lifted it on Oct. 20 after Trump’s lawyers appealed.
And she reversed that decision on Sunday evening, according to the court’s docket.
A copy of the judge’s order reinstating the gag was not immediately available.
Trump in the past has called Special Counsel Jack Smith a “deranged lunatic” and a “thug,” among other insults.

RELATED: “Incorrect and misleading allegations”: Jack Smith accuses Trump of lying to delay Mar-a-Lago trial
Published October 16,2023
Special counsel Jack Smith in a new filing accused Donald Trump and his legal team of lying about the discovery record in an effort to delay the trial schedule in the former president’s classified documents case. In the filing, posted Thursday evening, the special counsel argues that an unclassified response and classified supplement Trump filed on Oct. 19 “made incorrect and misleading allegations about the discovery record in furtherance of his attempt to delay the pretrial litigation schedule and May 20, 2024 trial date.”
Smith went on to offer a correction of the misleading statements from the defense’s brief. “[A]s of October 6, the defense has had available to it nearly all unclassified and classified discovery collected by the Government to date, as set forth in prior filings cited below, and the Government understands that the defense SCIF has been approved to store all classified materials in this case, including the special measures documents,” the filing reads. “The Government has met and exceeded its discovery obligations to date and the discovery record provides no cause to delay these proceedings.”
