Trump team reaches for delay in classified-documents case after immunity ruling
Trump’s lawyers asked the court to adjust the schedule in the classified-documents case after the Supreme Court’s immunity decision in the January 6 prosecution, a sign that the defense was trying to convert one major legal development into leverage everywhere else. It was a familiar Trump-world move: when the facts are bad, stretch the process. The problem is that delay is not the same thing as victory, and the request underscored how much work the defense still had to do before the case could move cleanly toward trial.
