Judge Smacks Down Trump After He Asks For Delay In Criminal Trial


Listen Later

Donald Trump's legal team submitted an urgent filing to Judge Juan Merchan - the judge overseeing the upcoming criminal trial - saying that he must dismiss the case because Trump had presidential immunity. The judge didn't waste any time in submitting his response to the motion by telling Trump's lawyers that the deadline for filing any new pre-trial motions was last month, and he waited too long to make this argument.

Also,  one of the star witnesses against Donald Trump who worked at Mar-a-Lago for 2 decades has come forward and spilled all of the information about how Trump moved classified documents and attempted to cover it up. The man, Brian Butler, says that he was basically an unwitting accomplice in helping to move and hide documents because he didn't know what they were, but he also revealed information that could absolutely sink Trump's legal defense. 

And Republican Senator Katie Britt is trying to slink away from the newfound media attention that she's getting, but that isn't stopping the onslaught of reporting about her horrid career following her State of the Union response. One outlet actually managed to track down some of her former childhood friends, and they explained exactly what went wrong with Britt and what caused her to become such a radical lunatic.

Finally, Donald Trump's legal team is now begging Judge Aileen Cannon for a significant delay in the documents trial because, as they argued in their latest motion, they are just too swamped with other trials at the moment. While that's not a horrible argument, it also isn't the problem of the court, and the lawyers have had more than enough time to prep for this trial and get ready to present in court. Farron explains why this very weak idea is probably going to get approved by the feckless Judge Cannon.
