Trump documents case: Special counsel seeks protective order to cloak ‘ongoing investigations’ and ‘uncharged individuals’

Special counsel Jack Smith responded Monday to an effort by Donald Trump and two co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira to get an “indefinite extension” of an upcoming deadline to compel discovery in the former president’s Mar-a-Lago prosecution. In doing so, Smith added in two footnotes that seemed to demonstrate irritation with the arguments Trump’s lawyers have been making.

Smith set the stage by telling U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that the Trump team is clearly “fully equipped” to file unclassified discovery requests by Oct. 20 but that the government will not oppose a 10-day extension of the deadline for a motion to compel classified discovery.

Therefore, Smith said, the “defendants’ motion for an indefinite extension” of the Oct. 20 deadline “should be denied.”
