Justice Department Resists Trump's Attempt to Delay Mar-a-Lago Trial for Political Gain

The Justice Department is opposing former President Trump's request to delay his Mar-a-Lago trial until after the 2024 election, arguing that the government has provided access to evidence and that the issues raised by Trump's team do not warrant a continuance. Trump's team has complained about the amount of classified evidence they've been able to review and the logistical challenges of managing multiple indictments. The government attributes delays in accessing documents to their sensitive nature and denies responsibility for the logistical impediments. Trump is facing 32 counts for violation of the Espionage Act and obstruction of justice charges in Florida.
