"Trump's Tactics to Divide Federal Judges in Mar-A-Lago Case"
TL;DR
Former President Donald Trump's legal team aims to pit federal judges against each other and manipulate trial schedules to delay his federal court trials until after the 2024 general election. By creating impasses and juggling his campaign and court calendars, they hope to shield Trump from facing trials before voters cast their ballots. The strategy involves convincing judges to delay trial dates and resolving legal complexities to stall proceedings. Trump's lawyers seek to prevent trials in federal courts through the summer, while Trump faces a separate trial in Manhattan in late March and a Florida trial at the end of May.
