Donald Trump asked a federal court to delay his classified documents trial until after the 2024 presidential election, arguing that to hold it beforehand would be unfair.
Attorneys for Trump and Walt Nauta, the former president's aide and co-defendant, said there must be a"measured consideration and timeline" for the case that"allows for a careful and complete review of the procedures" that led to the indictment.The attorneys argue that the"extraordinary case presents a serious challenge to both the fact and perception of our American democracy" and there is no need to rush the trial before Nov. 5, 2024.
The former president's attorneys wrote that"the Court now presides over a prosecution advanced by the administration of a sitting President against his chief political rival, himself a leading candidate for the Presidency of the United States," adding the claim that Biden was involved in Trump's indictment, something the president vehemently denies.
But Trump and Nauta believe that idea is"unrealistic" and, in their 12-page court filing, request that deciding on a date for the criminal trial be put off for some time. They put forward a long list of reasons they believe that action is necessary.
