The Justice Department is urging a judge to reject Donald Trump's efforts to postpone his classified documents trial, saying there was no basis for an 'open-ended' delay sought by his lawyers.
Controversial social media personality Andrew Tate is suing a Florida woman, saying she lied when she accused him of human trafficking.
They rejected the idea that any of the legal arguments the defense intends to raise requires postponement of the trial, saying they’ve already produced grand jury transcripts and unclassified witness statements. They said that in the next week, they will produce witness statements for interviews conducted through June 23, or two weeks after the indictment was returned.
Defense lawyers had also argued that Trump’s busy campaign schedule for the 2024 Republican nomination needed to be taken into account in scheduling a trial. But prosecutors said that, too, was not a basis for an indefinite delay. The Justice Department also disputed the suggestion that an impartial jury could not be selected before the presidential election.
