"you can't explain my crimes so close to an election!"

Trump is complaining about Jack Smith's filing in the federal election interference case and falsely claiming it violates the DOJ's 60 day rule before an election.

That's not how anything works.

The DOJ rule applies to investigative steps and indictments, not for things already charged. As Merrick Garland has said, it is in the hands of the judicial system at this point.

And note this filing was sealed. Judge Chutkan unsealed it. Judge Chutkan made a point to say that the election has no bearing on the judicial schedule.
