Trump Lawyers' 'Stunningly Stupid' Move Ripped by Former Judge

A retired California Superior Court judge criticized former President Donald Trump's lawyers for making a "stunningly stupid" argument in a court filing, attempting to delay Trump's criminal trial over the Jan. 6 insurrection until 2026. The lawyers referenced the landmark 1932 Supreme Court decision Powell v. Alabama, which the judge deemed inappropriate and absurd due to the lack of similarity between the cases. The judge set a trial date for March 4, 2023, stating that Trump's case is "profoundly different" and does not warrant further delay.
