Attorneys for former President Donald Trump signaled that the former president may attend a court hearing this week where they are set to argue that he has presidential immunity and other defenses in a bid to dismiss a case prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith on March 14. But, they argue, the case overlaps with the upcoming trial in a second criminal case in New York, and they won’t be able to meet this week’s deadline for certain court filings.
Among the reasons listed by the defense attorneys requesting a delay are travel by legal counsel and defendants to Fort Pierce, Florida, to attend the hearing.
