The Justice Department on Friday asked the appeals court to order all papers to be filed in the case by Nov. 11, but Trump is seeking to put that off until Nov. 21.
“Certainly, the Government is free to file its brief at its earliest convenience,” the Trump lawyers wrote. “However, no good cause has been shown as to why President Trump should have significantly less time than the Government and less time than that provided under the Rules to prepare and brief his arguments before this Court in this unprecedented case.
The 45th president’s attorneys argued against a “rush to judgment” in the case, which turns on whether Trump violated federal laws concerning the handling and storage of government records. “The Government has not and cannot possibly articulate any real risk of loss or harm resulting from a more deliberative process,” the lawyers continued.
“President Trump disagrees with and objects to the Government’s distorted and argumentative presentation of facts concerning the unprecedented raid of his home, its conduct in these proceedings, and the procedural history of this case,” the filing said.
