Special counsel blasts Trump’s bid to delay documents trial until 2024 election

The special counsel, Jack Smith, and his team have strongly criticized Donald Trump’s request to postpone his criminal trial for allegedly hoarding classified documents until after the 2024 election.

They characterized Trump’s call for a delay as baseless and referred to one of his key legal arguments as “borderline frivolous.”

In an 11-page filing signed by assistant special counsel David Harbach, prosecutors asserted that both federal law and the Constitution require the trial to proceed as soon as practicable, without an “open-ended” timeline tailored to Trump’s political calendar.

Harbach emphasized that there is no legal or factual basis provided by the defendants to justify such an indefinite and open-ended approach, Politico has reported.
