Trump's prosecutors move to smack down delay attempt in Jan. 6 trial

Donald Trump's lawyers are asking that the Jan. 6 case be delayed in Washington, D.C. for a number of reasons, but special counsel Jack Smith responded in a filing Monday explaining why he thinks it isn't necessary.

Trump's team had asked for a two-month delay in pre-trial months – the deadline for which is currently October 9 – because of the "numerous novel and complex legal issues."

But Smith fired back that, unlike in the classified documents case Trump is facing in Florida in which special accommodations need to be set up to review top secret material, the Jan. 6 case has very few complicated or classified documents that the lawyers need to time to view.

The filing explains: "The classified discovery reviewed by the defense consisted of approximately 975 pages of material: (1) a 761-page document obtained from the Department of Defense, the majority of which is not classified;1 (2) an FBI-FD 302 of the classified portion of a witness interview for which the Government already provided a transcript of the unclassified portion, as well as attachments, totaling 52 pages; (3) a 12-page document currently undergoing classification review by the Department of Defense; (4) the 118-page classified transcript the Government described at the CIPA § 2 hearing on August 28; and (5) a further controlled document that is a classified version of a publicly-available document produced in unclassified discovery that contains the same conclusions."

Prosecutors are essentially explaining there's an extremely limited amount of classified information involved in the case, and that there has been ample time given for Trump's legal team to digest what there is.
