监督的法官联邦选举干预案周四，美国前总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)驳回了特朗普的一项努力，即在特别顾问杰克·史密斯发出暂缓诉讼令后，以藐视法庭罪对其提起额外诉讼。
然而，法官下令，在没有事先征得她的许可的情况下，该案的所有当事人不得提交任何进一步的实质性文件。
华盛顿地区法官Tanya Chutkan指出，她之前的a诉讼的中止在去年12月发布的该案中，“没有明确无误地禁止(特朗普)反对的政府行为。”
她写道:“推迟提交申请的最后期限并不等同于明确禁止提交申请。”
尽管如此，她还是勉强同意特朗普法律团队的观点，即史密斯提交的一些文件可能需要特朗普团队进行审查，以确保这些文件不会对他们正在进行的豁免问题上诉产生影响。

“虽然这不是一个主要的负担，但它是一个可以认知的负担，”Chutkan写道。“因此，法院将采纳被告的建议，即禁止双方在未事先征得法院许可的情况下提出任何进一步的实质性审前动议。”
特朗普竞选团队的一名发言人称，法官的命令是对特别顾问的“强烈谴责”，称该命令禁止他在暂缓令生效期间“以额外申请骚扰特朗普总统”。
8月的特朗普不服罪被指控通过招募一批所谓的“假选举人”，利用司法部进行“虚假的选举犯罪调查”，试图让副总统“改变选举结果”，并在1月6日暴乱肆虐时宣传选举被盗的虚假说法，以推翻2020年选举的结果-所有这些都是为了颠覆民主并继续掌权。
前总统否认了所有不当行为。
Judge in Jan. 6 case rejects Trump's effort to have special counsel held in contempt
The judge overseeing thefederal election interference caseagainst former President Donald Trump on Thursday rejected an effort by Trump to have special counsel Jack Smith held in contempt for making additional filings in the case after she had issued a stay of proceedings.
The judge, however, ordered that all parties in the case are forbidden from making any further substantive filings without first seeking permission from her.
D.C. District Judge Tanya Chutkan noted that her previous order of astay of proceedingsin the case, issued in December, "did not clearly and unambiguously prohibit the Government actions to which [Trump] objects."
"Staying the deadline for a filing is not the same thing as affirmatively prohibiting it," she wrote.
Nevertheless, she agreed narrowly with the argument from Trump's legal team that some of the filings from Smith could require Trump's team to review them to make sure they don't have an impact on their ongoing appeal of immunity issues.

"While that is not a major burden, it is a cognizable one," Chutkan wrote. "Accordingly, the court will adopt Defendant's recommendation that the parties be forbidden from filing any further substantive pretrial motions without first seeking leave from the court."
A spokesperson for Trump's campaign called the judge's order a "strong rebuke" of the special counsel, saying it prohibits him "from harassing President Trump with additional filings" while the stay is in effect.
Trump in Augustpleaded not guiltyto charges of undertaking a "criminal scheme" to overturn the results of the 2020 election by enlisting a slate of so-called "fake electors," using the Justice Department to conduct "sham election crime investigations," trying to enlist the vice president to "alter the election results," and promoting false claims of a stolen election as the Jan. 6 riot raged -- all in an effort to subvert democracy and remain in power.
The former president has denied all wrongdoing.
