Trump's Trial Delay Tactics: A Strategic Defense Move
TL;DR Summary
Former President Donald Trump's defense lawyers are employing delay tactics in his criminal case, requesting a trial date be postponed indefinitely. They argue that the case requires careful review of the procedures leading to the indictment and claim that jury selection during a presidential campaign would be biased. The defense also highlights the potential delays caused by handling classified documents and obtaining security clearances. These tactics, reminiscent of renowned criminal defense attorney Douglas Rankin, aim to push the trial into the presidential election period, where Trump could potentially dismiss the case or seek a self-pardon.
