Trump's attorneys have urged Judge Chutkan to move the deadline for pretrial motions by two months — to Dec. 9, 2023, citing 'novel and complex legal issues' involved in the case.
Former President Donald Trump's legal team asked a federal judge Thursday to postpone filing deadlines by 60 days in theAttorneys for Trump filed a motion to Washington, D.C. federalexactly a month after she set an October 9 deadline for any pretrial motions the parties might want to file. In federal trials, prosecutors and defense attorneys submit written arguments to the court about legal issues ranging from concerns about the investigation to attempts to dismiss the case.
Special counsel Jack Smith charged Trump in August with four counts tied to his alleged efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, including conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and conspiracy to obstruct Congress' work on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump pleaded not guilty, has denied wrongdoing and has characterized the prosecution as politically motivated.
"Each of these motions will be extensive," the legal team wrote, arguing the complex legal theories require more time to brief. While Chutkan has yet to rule on Trump's current motion for delay, she indicated during an Aug. 28 hearing that while she views the prosecution of the former president as historic, she does not see too many novel legal questions that needed to be addressed.
