‘His counsel cannot prepare’: Trump lawyers tell Mar-a-Lago judge it’s ‘virtually impossible task’ to juggle hush-money trial defense and ‘critical’ deadlines

Remember when Jack Smith clashed with Judge Aileen Cannon in the Mar-a-Lago case over the naming of witnesses? Donald Trump’s lawyers do, and now they’re asking the judge in the Jan. 6 case to order the special counsel to explain his alleged “about-face” in an apparent defense bid to prevent “sensitive witness statements” from spilling out before the election.

Just one week ago, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, over the defense’s protestations, allowed the special counsel to submit an immunity brief under seal that could span 180 pages or more.
