CBS News legal contributor Rebecca Roiphe said on Wednesday that arguing special counsel Jack Smiths evidence brief breaches former President Donald Trumps right to a fair trial is not far-fetched due to the documents level of detail.
During anappearanceon CBS News, the former Manhattan prosecutor discussed the unusual level of detail in the recent filings by Smith that could interfere with Trumps constitutional right to a fair trial. The host asked Roiphe to delve into the evidentiary value of the documents now released to the public and explain how this might play out in a jury trial.
When there are motions, those motions become public. and those motions contain certain factual allegations. I think what is unusual here is the level of detail. Now, of course, this is an important case, Roipheexplained. This is responding to a ruling from the Supreme Court that was fairly vague. And so its not that the level of detail is inappropriate, but there is a level of detail that one doesnt normally see in motion filings.
The conversation highlighted the former presidents concerns about the potential interference with his constitutional rights.
And so, you know, I think thats worth pausing and mentioning that the former presidents argument that this was interfering with his constitutional right to a fair trial, you know, its not a far-fetched argument to make given how much detail is actually in there, she continued.

Judge Tanya ChutkanreleasedWednesday a redacted version of Smithsdetailed briefon the evidence concerning former Trumps alleged election interference. Dismissing accusations of bad-faith partisan bias, Chutkan ordered the 165-page document on presidential immunity to be filed publicly, countering Trumps legal teams objections to its release before the election.
In a Tuesday filing, Trumps legal teamaccusedSmith of political motives for seeking to publicize witness testimony before the election. They argued to Judge Chutkan that while prosecutors will redact names in a significant presidential immunity motion, they intend to leave quotations from sensitive materials unredacted, a reversal from Smiths earlier stance on protecting such information to ensure justice.
