Special counsel Jack Smith and defense attorneys for former president Donald Trump admittedly “have differing views” about how and when to move the Jan. 6 election subversion case forward.

Earlier this month, Smith asked for and received permission to delay a filing concerning scheduling matters. Now, the government would like to pick up the pace and, in a late Friday filing advised an aggressive effort of combining various discussions in order to get the long-delayed case back on track and “promote judicial economy.”

The defense, meanwhile, wants to slow things down and suggested the Washington, D.C.-based district court push some pre-trial proceedings back to the spring and fall of 2025 “if necessary.”
