Washington — The Justice Department urged a judge Thursday to reject Donald Trump's efforts to postpone his classified documents trial, saying there was no basis for an “open-ended” delay sought by his lawyers. Federal prosecutors last month proposed a Dec. 11 trial for Trump, who is charged with 37 felony counts related to the mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, though the actual date will be up to the judge. Trump's lawyers countered this week with a request for a delay. They did not propose a specific date but said the case concerned novel legal issues, and proceeding with a trial within six months is “unreasonable” and would “result in a miscarriage of justice.” On Thursday, prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith's team responded by asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to not postpone the trial beyond the December date they recommended. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2023/07/13/justice-department-urges-judge-to-not-postpone-trumps-classified-documents-trial/70412307007/

Do You Think Trump Wants To Postpone His Trial, So People Could Vote For Him & he can Pardon himself if elected? Or shut down DOJ?
