‘A temper tantrum from a deranged fanatic’

On Wednesday, a federal judge unsealed special counsel Jack Smith’s 165-page legal brief detailing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump’s alleged criminal activities related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. On Sunday, Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton called the move “a temper tantrum from a deranged fanatic” on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

“This is unverified, un-cross-examined hearsay from grand jury testimony, which usually isn't revealed publicly for that reason,” Cotton (R-Ark.) told “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker.
