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 ā€” after the 2024 election has come and gone.

On Oct. 10, several days afterĀ Smithā€™s immunity brief went public, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the prosecutionā€™s redacted appendix should also go public since Trumpā€™s ā€œā€˜concern with the political consequences of these proceedingsā€™ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.ā€ At the same time, the judge stayed her order and gave Trumpā€™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 hadnā€™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 concertā€¦except itā€™s trumpā€¦in a courtroom.
