Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett compared special counsel Jack Smith’s lengthy filing to “bad detective fiction” Thursday, accusing Smith of trying to influence the Nov. 5 presidential election.

United States District Judge Tanya Chutkan of the District of Columbia released Smith’s brief in the federal election interference case against former President Donald Trump, which sought to address the Supreme Court’s July 1 ruling regarding presidential immunity, Wednesday evening. Jarrett told “Fox and Friends” co-hosts Lawrence Jones, Ainsley Earhardt and Steve Doocy that the release was “blatant election interference.”

“Yeah, he’s trying to have a damning trial of Trump without a trial in the face of the fact that he couldn’t get a trial before the election,” Jarrett said. “And, you know, releasing this motion, this court filing, it sure looks like blatant election interference.”

WATCH:

“Lawrence, you know, Trump’s lawyers urged the judge, keep it sealed. It will impact the election. The judge did it anyway with almost no discussion and there’s no good reason to make it public. It’s premature. There isn’t even a trial date,” Jarrett continued. “So, I think this was done knowing full well media and Democrats would seize on provocative details, publicize it to affect voters and damage Trump and sure enough, as I looked at television, the internet and newspapers, that’s what’s happening.”

Smith secured a superseding indictment against Trump on Aug. 27 after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the former president’s claims of immunity in a case stemming from a previous indictment secured by the special counsel over the former president’s alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election. Jarrett told Doocy that Smith was rehashing his previous accusations.

“At times it reads like bad detective fiction. A lot of it is irrelevant and inadmissible,” Jarrett told Doocy. “Conversations that other people had that are not connected to Trump directly. So, it seems like deliberate election interference and the incendiary details notwithstanding, Smith’s basic accusations are the same that we have heard all along. Nothing has changed, the theme that Trump deceived people, well, if he honestly believed he won, it’s hard to prove otherwise.”

Earhardt questioned whether Smith was trying to get around the July Supreme Court ruling on immunity with the filing.

“His great challenge is to somehow circumvent the immunity decision here,” Jarret said. “That’s what this motion is all about. The problem for Smith is a lot of his evidence and testimony comes from public officials and their conversations with Trump, including the vice president. Under the Supreme Court decision, that may well be protected information and thus inadmissible. In the filing Smith asserts nothing’s protected and then all of the sudden he concedes well, some of it is protected and immune but I can rebut the presumption of immunity.”

Former President Donald Trump trails Harris by 2.2% in the RealClearPolling average of polls from Sept. 11 to Oct. 1, with the vice president’s lead dropping to 2% when Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein, independent candidate Cornel West and Libertarian candidate Chase Oliver are included in surveys.
