Trump and Special Counsel Duel Over Next Steps


“The special counsel’s office and Donald Trump outlined dueling visions Friday for how the former president’s 2020 election obstruction case should proceed in D.C. federal court, with Trump’s attorneys proposing a schedule that would extend pretrial arguments into next year and neither side pushing for resolution before the November election,” the Washington Post reports.

“In a joint filing Friday night, both sides previewed legal wrangling that is likely to drag the case out deep into 2025 or beyond. The filing came after U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan requested a proposed plan for how to resolve legal issues in the case after the Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution when carrying out their core constitutional powers.”

Politico: Jack Smith leaves the Trump trial timeline in Judge Chutkan’s hands.
