Prosecutors Ask Trump Documents Judge to Act

“In an open display of frustration, federal prosecutors on Tuesday night told the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case that a ‘fundamentally flawed’ order she had issued was causing delays and asked her to quickly resolve a critical dispute about one of Mr. Trump’s defenses — leaving them time to appeal if needed,” the New York Times reports.

“The unusual and risky move by the prosecutors, contained in a 24-page filing, signaled their mounting impatience with the judge, Aileen Cannon, who has allowed the case to become bogged down in a logjam of unresolved issues and curious procedural requests. It was the most directly prosecutors have confronted Judge Cannon’s legal reasoning and unhurried pace, which have called into question whether a trial will take place before the election in November even though both sides say they could be ready for one by summer.”
