Judge grants Donald Trump extension in blow to Jack Smith
Trump is expected to attend a hearing on Thursday where his attorneys will argue that the classified documents case should be tossed.
By
The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial granted the former president’s legal team a 10-day extension to make filings in the case, despite opposition to the motion from special counsel Jack Smith.
Florida-based federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday ruled that Trump may file replies to motions by March 24, 2025.
The ruling came as a blow to prosecutors, who had argued that the schedule “has been in place for months” and that Trump’s legal team says it needs more time based on circumstances it had been aware of for years, such as Trump’s criminal trial in New York, which is scheduled to begin on March 25.
Trump is expected to attend a hearing on Thursday in Florida where his attorneys will argue that the classified documents case should be tossed, per NBC News.
