BREAKING: Jack Smith asks judge to halt all deadlines in Trump’s case after election victory
By Katelynn Richardson, Daily Caller – November 08, 2024
Special counsel Jack Smith requested a pause Friday on all pending deadlines in his election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump.
“As a result of the election held on November 5, 2024, the defendant is expected to be certified as President-elect on January 6, 2025, and inaugurated on January 20, 2025,” prosecutors wrote in the filing. “The Government respectfully requests that the Court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the Government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy.”
Smith informed Judge Tanya Chutkan that he intends to file a status report or “otherwise inform the Court” of his determination by Dec. 2.
