Lawyers for former PresidentĀ Donald Trump on Thursday asked the judge in hisĀ Jan. 6 prosecution to keep a stay in place for a month so that the defense and special counsel Jack Smith can file their ā€œimmunity appendicesā€ at the same time — after the 2024 election has come and gone.

On Oct. 10, several days afterĀ Smith’s immunity brief went public, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the prosecution’s redacted appendix should also go public since Trump’s ā€œā€˜concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.ā€ At the same time, the judge stayed her order and gave Trump’s team seven days to ā€œevaluate litigation options.ā€

Seven days later now, the defense has responded by asking the judge, a Barack Obama appointee, to keep the stay in place until Nov. 14, claiming ā€œthe public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative.ā€

      I hadn’t seen the picture you were referencing, and I just woke up. My first thought was that you were suggesting trump throw his own worn panties at the judge, like it were a rolling stones concert…except it’s trump…in a courtroom.
