"Special Counsel and Judge Unite Against Trump's Delay Tactics and Defense Strategies"

Federal prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith's team express frustration with Donald Trump's delay tactics, accusing him of trying to manipulate the court. Trump's lawyers argued that they couldn't simultaneously work on two trials, one in Florida and one in D.C., both being prosecuted by Smith's team. Prosecutors argue that Trump's lawyers failed to inform the court of their intention to file for a delay in the D.C. trial. Trump's attorneys have repeatedly sought to delay trial dates, with their latest effort likely facing challenges. Smith's prosecutors urge the court not to delay the Florida trial based on the potential delay in the D.C. trial.
