Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a South Dakota Republican party rally in Rapid City, South Dakota, U.S. September 8, 2023. WASHINGTON — Donald Trump on Friday attacked special counsel Jack Smith as a "deranged" prosecutor after his office sought restrictions on what the former president can say about his federal election interference case. "He's a deranged person," he said of Smith, who led two federal investigations into Trump that have yielded criminal indictments. Trump, who is the leading Republican candidate for the party's 2024 presidential nomination, claimed in a speech Friday night that Smith "wants to take away my rights under the First Amendment." Trump is charged with four criminal counts in that case, which alleges he perpetrated multiple conspiracies to overturn his loss to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election.
