Trump is seeking to delay pretrial hearings until after prosecutors have filed a brief.
The judge in Donald Trump's federal election case has cut down his attempts to delay the case, telling the former president's lawyers: 'We can all walk and chew gum at the same time.'Her comments came after a prosecutor said that his office needed up to three weeks to write a new opening brief for the trial. Trump's lawyers sought to delay discovery proceedings until after the government had filed the brief to Chutkan's court in Washington, D.C.
'Her comment appears to drive a wedge into a key component of the defense case—that, following the Supreme Court's decision, the Trump/Pence discussions about the election result are exempt from prosecution and exempt from being used as evidence in other parts of the case.Chief prosecutor, Jack Smith, has complained several times to Chutkan that Trump's lawyers are using the discovery process to delay the case as long as possible.
