Team Trump argued that they need an additional two years and three months to prepare because of the exorbitant amount of evidence compiled by federal prosecutors.
Donald Trump’s legal team asked a judge to set an April 2026 date for a case accusing the former president of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election.They claimed they would have to sift through more than 100,000 pages of discovery documents per day in order to be prepared for the proposed Jan. 2 start date.
“If we were to print and stack 11.5 million pages of documents, with no gap between pages, at 200 pages per inch, the result would be a tower of paper stretching nearly 5,000 feet into the sky. That is taller than the Washington Monument, stacked on top of itself eight times, with nearly a million pages to spare,” the defense lawyers wrote.
They also alleged that the Justice Department — at the whim of President Biden — spent roughly 2.5 years preparing toTrump’s legal team had until Wednesday to respond to prosecutors’ motion, and an Aug. 28 hearing will settle determine the trial date. Defense attorneys claim prosecutors are trying to expedite the trial so that Trump’s team won’t get adequate time to prepare their case.
