Federal prosecutors led by special counsel Jack Smith fired back against a court motion filed by President Donald Trump to push back court deadlines in his upcoming classified documents trial.
In a filing Thursday, Mr. Smith’s team of prosecutors wrote that the former president’s proposed delay regarding reviewing the classified evidence “threatens to upend the entire schedule established by the Court and that amounts to a motion to continue the May 20, 2024 trial date.” They wrote that President Trump’s request would delay motions regarding evidence discovery for about three months.
