Special Counsel Jack Smith FUMES After Judge Cannon Blasts DOJ Prosecutors, Signals She May Postpone Classified Docs Trial
Special Counsel Jack Smith attacked Trump after the former president’s attorneys filed a motion for a stay in the January 6 case in DC.
“President Trump respectfully requests that the Court stay all proceedings in this case pending resolution of his Immunity Motion,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in the motion filed Wednesday evening.
Trump’s lawyers filed the motion just hours after Judge Aileen Cannon signaled she would postpone the classified documents case in Southern Florida.
Judge Aileen Cannon last month paused litigation in Jack Smith’s classified documents case as she decides whether to grant Trump’s motion to extend deadlines related to classified material.
Last month Trump attorneys Chris Kise and Todd Blanche accused Jack Smith’s prosecutors of using dilatory tactics to slow-roll the discovery process and taking too long to turn over evidence.
