In a motion on Thursday, Trump’s attorneys proposed the April 2026 start date. Trump’s attorneys revealed the government turned over “a massive, 8.5-terabyte initial production, totaling over 11.5 million pages, together with native files, recordings, and other electronic data not amenable to pagination.”
Trump’s attorneys recognized the unprecedented nature of the case, where the “incumbent administration has targeted its primary political opponent—and leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election—with criminal prosecution.”In this District, ordinary order when faced with such overwhelming discovery is to set a reasonable trial schedule, commensurate with the size and scope of discovery and complexity of the legal issues. The government rejects this sensible approach.
