Fresh from a hearing where Donald Trump appeared to gain traction to delay one of his criminal trials past the presidential election, his attorneys asked Wednesday night for a second trial he faces next year to be put on hold.
Prosecutors with special counsel Jack Smith’s office have accused former President Donald Trump’s legal team of seeking to manipulate the courts in their bid to delay his trials past the 2024 presidential election. Fresh off a Florida hearing where Trump appeared to gain traction in his effort to delay one of his criminal trials, his attorneys asked Wednesday night for a second trial he faces next year in Washington, DC, to be put on hold.
In a filing Wednesday night, Trump’s team asked federal Judge Tanya Chutkan to pause the entirety of his DC criminal case related to his attempts to block the transfer of power in 2020. His attorneys argued that he should not face trial while the court considers his bid to dismiss the case because, they say, he is immune from prosecution for actions he took around the election while serving as president.
