Former president Donald Trump's lawyers argued in new court papers that for a host of legal and political reasons, the trial should be pushed beyond the December timeframe proposed by the Justice Department, and possibly after the November 2024 election.
In a 12-page filing late Monday night, Trump's lawyers Christopher Kise and Todd Blanche claimed that putting the former president on trial later this year for alleged mishandling of classified papers and obstruction will be "unreasonable, telling, and would result in a miscarriage of justice."
