Trump\u2019s legal team also proposed their version, which the special counsel called inadequate.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>In a media appearance Thursday, Trump attorney John Lauro criticized Smith\u2019s team for pushing the case forward too quickly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a fast-moving railroad without any concern for justice,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was indicted on four federal charges Tuesday, alleging that he attempted to orchestrate a fake electoral college vote scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He pleaded not guilty at his arraignment Thursday.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Smith also indicted Trump in a separate federal case over alleged mishandling of classified documents in June.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar Media Inc.
