They argue that the Biden administration&#8217;s schedule is unrealistic and that the case is unprecedented.<\/p>\n<p>In June, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/missouri-man-charged-with-threatening-to-murder-2-us-congressmen\/\" title=\"Missouri Man Charged With Threatening to Murder 2 US Congressmen\">federal grand jury<\/a> in Miami indicted Mr. Trump on 37 felony charges, including the willful retention of national defense information and conspiring to obstruct justice. Despite pleading not guilty, Mr. Trump maintains that the case against him is politically motivated.<\/p>\n<p>The trial was originally set to begin in August, but the Department of Justice (DOJ) requested a December start date to allow Mr. Trump&#8217;s lawyers enough time to obtain the necessary security clearances to review classified documents related to the case.<\/p>\n<p>In a motion filed on July 10, Mr. Trump&#8217;s lawyers, along with his personal aide and co-defendant Walt Nauta, urged the judge to further delay the trial. They argued that a trial starting within a few months would not provide sufficient time for effective preparation, potentially resulting in a miscarriage of justice.<\/p>\n<h2>Case Is of &#8216;Extraordinary Nature&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;This extraordinary case presents a serious challenge to both the fact and perception of our American democracy,&#8221; the attorneys wrote. &#8220;The Court now presides over a prosecution advanced by the administration of a sitting President against his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-durham-probe\/\" title=\"Everything You Need To Know About The Durham Probe\">chief political rival<\/a>, himself a leading candidate for the Presidency of the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Therefore, a measured consideration and timeline that allows for a careful and complete review of the procedures that led to this indictment and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/trump-lawyers-ask-federal-judge-to-delay-classified-documents-trial-scheduled-for-december\/\" title=\"Trump's lawyers request a delay in the December trial for classified documents.\">unprecedented legal issues presented<\/a> herein best serves the interests of the Defendants and the public,&#8221; they continued.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Based on the extraordinary nature of this action, there is most assuredly no reason for any expedited trial, and a continuance best serves the ends of justice,&#8221; they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The former President&#8217;s attorneys further argued that the DOJ&#8217;s attempts to set a December trial date are unwarranted as there is &#8220;no ongoing threat to national security.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Attorneys for ex-President Trump seek trial delay, citing the Biden administration&#8217;s impractical timeline and the extraordinary nature of the case.
