Lawyers for President Donald Trump are asking a judge overseeing a case in which he’s accused of improperly keeping classified documents from his own administration to delay the trial.
The Daily Caller News Foundation reports they want the trial, now scheduled for May 20, 2024, to be delayed until after the 2024 election.
They accuse the prosecutor of refusing to provide discovery information in the case in a timely fashion.
The charges stem from his alleged possession of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
The political agenda behind the case is apparent in that both former vice president Mike Pence and Joe Biden also were found to have had classified documents in their possession, yet neither has been charged.
Biden, in fact, had classified documents from his vice presidency in several offices and stashed in a stack of boxes next to his collectible Corvette in the garage at his home, protected only by a garage door.
Significantly, Trump held the power to declassify any document he wanted to while he was president. Biden, during his years as vice president for Barack Obama, did not.
Trump’s lawyers are asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to push the trial back at least until mid-November 2024.
They cited conflicts with other trials and the fact that Special Counsel Jack Smith has declined to produce records for the trial.
”The Special Counsel’s Office has not provided some of the most basic discovery in the case,” lawyers Christopher Kise and Todd Blanche wrote. “Given the current schedule, we cannot understate the prejudice to President Trump arising from his lack of access to these critical materials months after they should have been produced.”
Trump’s co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, join his request to postpone the trial, lawyers wrote.
This case against Trump involved an FBI-driven raid on Trump’s home, Mar-a-Lago, and their release of an image of classified documents they had strewn on the floor to photograph.
Trump has denied any wrongdoing.
Among the problems being created by the special counsel, Trump’s lawyers argue, is that they are allowed only a “small, temporary facility” in which to review the documents.
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
