“For the second time in a week, Defendant urges reconsideration of the current pretrial schedule in a brief intended to respond to a separate issue, and without actually filing a motion to that effect,” she wrote.
“The court has already addressed the scheduling objections Defendant raised when he was given an opportunity to do so.”
In the identical order, Chutkan grants Smith’s request to file a 180-page opening temporary on how you can tackle the immunity points within the case, a request that likewise earned pushback from Trump’s crew.
Trump’s attorneys known as the temporary a “180-page false hit piece” and appeared to mock the particular counsel’s competition it will be of “great assistance” to Chutkan.
