Lawyers for former president Donald Trump argued in new court papers that he will be too busy campaigning for president to properly prepare for trial, saying it should be pushed into at least 2024.
In a 12-page filing late Monday night, Trump’s lawyers Christopher Kise and Todd Blanche claimed that putting the former president on trial later this year for alleged mishandling of classified papers and obstruction will be “unreasonable, telling, and would result in a miscarriage of justice.”
“Here, there is simply no question any trial of this action during the pendency of a Presidential election will impact both the outcome of that election and, importantly, the ability of the Defendants to obtain a fair trial,” Kise and Blanche wrote. Trump’s lawyers disagreed, arguing the case hinges on untested legal questions about the Presidential Records Act.
Trump and Nauta, the new filing argues, are going to be too busy with a presidential campaign to properly prepare for a criminal trial at the end of this year.
