Judge Aileen Cannon grants ‘unnecessary’ delay in Trump documents case

“An indefinite continuance is unnecessary, will inject additional delay in this case, and is contrary to the public interest,” special counsel Jack Smith said in a subsequent filing on Monday.

On Tuesday, Cannon granted a 4-day delay, setting the new hearing for July 18 at 2:00 P.M. A court filing said Trump and Smith had agreed to the new date. 

Trump and Nauta are both charged with covering up alleged crimes related to government documents. Trump also faces additional charges, including violations of the Espionage Act.

He is a fugitive and he is using his ability to wow the members of the majority of the Oversight Committee to wrap himself in some kind of legitimacy or authority.”
