Trump DOJ Indictment

The defense features in both cases Smith is prosecuting against Trump, and is set to be heard by a federal judge next week and the Supreme Court next month.

The judge also noted that she could not ‘ignore the realities’ of the several other trial schedules the defendant, President Trump, faces.

The allegation has become a key part in a case against him alleging mishandling of classified documents.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has revealed in a recent court filing that the DC grand jury in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump has ended, after the judge challenged the special counsel over his use of an out-of-state grand jury.

Special counsel Jack Smith pushed back against former President Donald Trump’s request that trial begin in April 2026, saying “the defendant cites inapposite statistics and cases, overstates the amount of new and non-duplicative discovery, and exaggerates the challenge of reviewing it effectively.”

Mr. Barr said it is “too broad” and helps “feed the narrative” that former President Donald Trump is being “victimized.”

President Trump’s lawyers rejected special counsel Jack Smith’s proposed date of Jan. 2, 2024.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered a sealed hearing on a request for a protective order under the Classified Information Protection Act (CIPA) in a case the DOJ brought in Florida against former President Donald Trump.

Former President Donald Trump on Friday pleaded not guilty to three new felony charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith in a superseding indictment in a case that accuses the former president of mishandling classified documents.
