DOJ/LEGAL: “The Justice Department urged a judge Thursday to reject Donald Trump’s efforts to postpone his classified documents trial, saying there was no basis for an ‘open-ended’ delay sought by the former president’s lawyers.
Federal prosecutors last month proposed a Dec. 11 trial for Trump, who is charged with 37 felony counts related to the mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, though the actual date will be up to the judge.
Trump’s lawyers countered this week with a request for an indefinite delay.”
