Prosecutors argued in a court filing that the former president based the proposal on misleading statistics and an exaggeration of the volume of evidence in the case.
“The defendant’s proposed trial date, however, rests on the faulty assertion that it is necessary for a lawyer to conduct a page-by-page review of discovery for a defendant to receive a fair trial,” Molly Gaston continued.
“This small and skewed sample provides no help to the Court in deciding an appropriate trial date,” Gaston wrote in the, adding, “The question here is when it is appropriate to start trial in this case, and statistics regarding the length of time from indictment to sentencing in other … cases have no bearing on that decision.”
Prosecutors delivered a tranche of 11.5 million pages and files to Trump earlier this month that Trump’s attorneys, John Lauro and Todd Blanche,for the protracted trial preparation time they proposed. Prosecutors indicated Monday they had delivered another 600,000 pages to Trump’s team on Saturday.
