Special counsel Jack Smith’s expansive immunity brief finally hit the Jan. 6 docket on Wednesday despite the efforts of Donald Trump’s defense to claim the revelations therein were inappropriately timed by the DOJ to impact the nearing election. Now that much anticipated juicy details of the former president’s private conduct to overturn his 2020 election loss have gone public, however, Trump lawyers expressed no interest in rebutting the allegations until after the 2024 election has come and gone.

Though the defense recently railed against the prospect of the special counsel filing an up to 180-page “monstrosity” outlining the case that Trump knew he lost the 2020 election, mocked “Kraken” lawyer Sidney Powell’s theories as “crazy,” did not share evidence of his fraud claims with allies when they asked for it, and even “made up figures” about non-citizens voting “from whole cloth,” Trump’s attorneys are once again requesting substantial delay.
