Following the unsealing of former President Donald Trump’s indictment, a number of his followers engaged in online harassment and trolling directed towards Katy Chevigny, the wife of special counsel Jack Smith
Who is Katy Chevigny?
Katy Gale Chevigny, born in 1968, is a renowned American documentary filmmaker. She is the daughter of Bell Gale Chevigny and Paul Chevigny. In July 2011, Katy Chevigny married Jack Smith, a prosecutor employed by the U.S. Department of Justice. The couple has since welcomed a daughter into their family.
Recently, former President Donald Trump was indicted. Several Trump followers targeted Chevigny. Trump wrote on Truth Social, “Attorney General Garland, Lisa Monaco, Matt Colangelo (now working at the D.A’s Office to “GET TRUMP”), Deranged Jack Smith and, of course, Biden himself, who is losing to me in the Polls (by a lot), are all Trump Haters. Jack Smith’s wife, Katy Chevigny, is the biggest Hater of them all. There is no way they can treat me fairly- but we will win, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Several Twitter users targeted Chevigny. One user tweeted, “The Producer of the Netflix Documentary “BECOMING” about Michelle Obama is Katy Chevigny. Katy Chevigny is the wife of Special Counsel Jack Smith, who was hand-picked by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate Donald Trump. Using maiden names is one way they try to hide their network of lies. Follow the wives”
“Newly appointed Special Counsel Jack Smith is married to a documentary filmmaker who worked on a 2020 film about former first lady Michelle Obama and donated to President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign. Katy Chevigny (Smiths wife) worked as a producer on Becoming, according to IMDb, while publicly available records from the Federal Election Commission (FEC) show her previous campaign donations.” another user tweeted.
