Attorneys for former President Donald Trump are seeking to postpone his classified documents trial until after the 2024 election, citing failures to share evidence by federal prosecutors.

Attorneys Todd Blanche and Christopher Kise asked US District Judge Aileen Cannon to adjourn the case “until at least mid-November 2024,” court filings show, claiming special counsel Jack Smith had yet to share all evidence in the case.

The pair faulted Smith’s office for not having produced “all discovery” from “day one” as promised, including witness statements, and for piling on additional evidence following a superseding indictment in late July.

[Worth a shot, but almost certainly doomed to fail. There is still plenty of time for discovery in this case, which is the one straightforward case brought against Trump. The judge will be more likely to order more accommodation, if anything at all, rather than a continuance this far out. His attorneys are also complaining about conflicting schedules between two of the trials, and that may be tougher to work out. — Ed]
