Federal prosecutors on Oct. 9 responded to former President Donald Trump’s request to delay his Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial until after the November 2024 election.

“The defendants provide no credible justification to postpone a trial that is still seven months away,” prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith’s office wrote in the response to a filing made by the Trump attorneys. His co-defendants in the case, Carlos de Oliveira and Walt Nauta, joined him.
