BREAKING: Jack Smith requests Trump classified document trial date pushed to December
Smith said the request, which would push the trial date from Aug. 14 to Dec. 11, is so Trump's defense counsel can obtain the proper security clearances needed to review the classified information.Although interim approval of security clearances should allow the defense to review most of the information, the final decision on security clearance could take between 45 and 60 days since the proper forms were submitted, Smith noted.
An additional legal process under the Classified Information Procedures Act is also expected to delay the trial until December, but Smith included a proposed calendar with the act's deadlines in Friday's filings. Smith also requested to seal the witness list of people Trump and his co-defendant, Walt Nauta, are prohibited from speaking to on the case.Trump was indicted by a Florida grand jury earlier this month for allegedly mishandling classified documents after he left the Oval Office.
A transcript from the arraignment was released on Friday, revealing the arraignment lasted exactly one hour. Trump did not speak at all during the legal procedure.
