Trump's Lawyers Look to Push Election Interference Trial Back to 2026

Trump's Lawyers, Look to Push Election Interference , Trial Back to 2026.

Politico reports that Donald Trump's legal team has filed court papers requesting a 2.5-year delay before choosing a jury, citing the extraordinary circumstances of the case.

.

Among those circumstances is over 11.5 million pages of evidence that prosecutors turned over earlier in August.

Trump lawyers John Lauro and Todd Blanche's request for an April 2026 trial date sharply contrasts prosecutors' ambitious call for the trial to start in January of 2024.

.

The defense's request gives U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, who said she will set a trial date by August 28, a critical choice to make.

Trump's legal team also noted the unprecedented nature of the former president being prosecuted by a Justice Department led by his political rivals.

In this District, ordinary order when faced with such overwhelming discovery is to set a reasonable trial schedule, commensurate with the size and scope of discovery and complexity of the legal issues, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's legal team, via Politico.

The government rejects this sensible approach.

Instead, it seeks a trial calendar more rapid than most no-document misdemeanors, requesting just four months from the beginning of discovery to jury selection, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, Donald Trump's legal team, via Politico.

However, there is a possibility that Trump could be back in the White House by the suggested start date.

This means that Trump could appoint an attorney general who could dismiss the charges, or he could issue himself a presidential pardon.

Trump has been charged by special counsel Jack Smith with three conspiracies to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

In February, Hur's yearlong investigation into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges. House Republicans were provided a transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied. As a result, House Republicans were moving to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel. The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable. Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte explained the DOJ's actions in a letter. The Attorney General must draw a line that safeguards the Department from improper political influence and protects our principles, our law enforcement work, and the people who carry out that work independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter . The Committees seek to hold the Attorney General in contempt not for failing in his duties, but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter . With the information you now have, the Committees ought not to proceed with contempt and should instead avoid unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter . White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege. .
