Breaking: Watch live coverage as former President Donald Trump arrives at court in Washington, D.C. for arraignment on charges related to Jan. 6.
The former president's legal team is already inundated with their review of documents in the case over Trump's handling of classified documents found at Mar-a-Lago, and is still dealing with the New York case over alleged"hush money" payments.
Citing those legal burdens, his attorneys are expected to argue in the coming weeks that any trial over Trump's handling of the 2020 election aftermath needs to be delayed, according to conversations with people familiar with the investigation. They are expected to argue that a full, extensive discovery process in the Jan. 6 investigation could take months as their client deals with multiple cases. The trial in the classified documents case is scheduled to begin in May 2024.His lawyers also plan to push for a change of venue, and the former president will keep calling for the case to be moved to conservative West Virginia.
Smith, the special counsel, is expected to be in the courtroom this afternoon, like he was when Trump was arraigned in Miami in June. By focusing intensely on Trump, Smith and his team are hoping for a speedy trial and for others involved in the alleged scheme to cooperate further with the government."They want to break the co-conspirators and aren't ruling out indictments of them," one source said.
