Special counsel Jack Smith filed a motion to reject former President Donald Trump's request to delay the Florida classified documents trial until after the 2024 presidential election, arguing there is "no reason" to do so because the court has already rejected that in setting the trial for next May.
"The defendants provide no credible justification to postpone a trial that is still seven months away," Smith's prosecutors argued in the 13-page filing. "The March 4, 2023 , trial date in the District of Columbia, and the underlying schedule in that case, currently require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once," Trump's legal team argued in a motion to U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, requesting moving the Florida trial date, The Messenger reported.
"The defendants make numerous allegations regarding their access to classified discovery arising from the status of secure facilities, their clearances, and other considerations," Monday's filing read. "Most of the allegations are inaccurate and incomplete; collectively they are misleading.
