President Donald J. Trump respectfully requests that the Court temporarily continue the stay of its October 10, 2024, Order (Doc. 260, the Order), through November 14, 2024, to allow for the concurrent filing of the parties respective immunity appendices. In support, President Trump states as follows:
On September 26, 2024, the Special Counsel sought leave to file its immunity brief and accompanying appendix (the SC Appendix) under partial seal. Doc. 246. The Special Counsel represented that it had redacted non-public Sensitive Materials from the SC Appendix in their entirety, but stated that the SC Appendix still contained other (supposedly already public) materials. Id. at 3.
President Trump objected to the public release of the Special Counsels filings, arguing, inter alia, that: (1) the Constitution as well as the rules of criminal procedure do not permit the Special Counsel to pre-emptively defend its own lawless superseding indictment, prior to any defense motion, and (2) publication of cherry-picked materials, which the Special Counsel describes as a detailed statement of [its] case, Doc. 252 at 2, would prejudice potential jurors and endanger potential witnessesespecially in light of the extraordinary media coverage of this case (and immunity filings specifically) and the Presidential election that is less than 3 weeks awayand also irreparably harm President Trump. Docs. 248, 259; see also ECF No. 1 at 1, In Re Press Application for Access to the Government's Motion for Immunity Determinations in Case No. 23-Cr-357, United States of America v. Donald J. Trump, No. 1:24-mc-00122 (D.D.C.) (listing press organizations seeking immunity material).

Rules Require Posting The Exact Title... That's Why I Left It As Is...
Former President Donald J. Trump is requesting the Court to continue the stay of its October 10, 2024, Order until November 14, 2024, to allow for the concurrent filing of the parties respective immunity appendices.
Trump objected to the public release of the Special Counsels filings, arguing that it would prejudice potential jurors, endanger potential witnesses, and irreparably harm him, especially given the proximity to the Presidential election.
On October 2, 2024, the Court overruled Trumps objections and ordered the immediate public release of the Special Counsels redacted immunity brief, which led to significant media coverage and political use by the incumbent Vice President.
Trump argues that releasing both appendices simultaneously would provide a more balanced view to the public and potential jurors, reducing the risk of prejudice and harm.
Trump emphasizes that the public interest and the integrity of the ongoing election would be better served by a temporary stay, ensuring that the case does not unduly interfere with or appear to interfere with the election.
Trump is full of shit as always.
Except of course for what's in his trousers...

No, I take that back - they are all as bad or worse than him.

(4,325 posts)Every single time he brings up the election as a reason for anything, Judge Chutkin not only shoots him down, but gives a good talking to, at the same time. I expect no difference here. The trial started long before election time, and only because T, himself, kept kicking it did it fall back into this "terrible" time frame for him. The judge recognizes this, and I think she gets a few chuckles out of it (all the while being within the letter of the law, of course!)

(3,547 posts)Even better, the court should order all then submitted evidence released on Nov 1st to better inform voters. Brush his delaying tactics right out of the way.

(3,113 posts)... starting off with that misnomer for the accused should have gotten the whole thing tossed out and highlighted for where corrections are/were needed. Just like a strict junior high English teacher would do, ie... FORMER!

(3,051 posts)The rule is to post the headline of a news story, not the Trump lawyer crafted title of their dipshit legal filing.

(2,088 posts)Trump is NOT the President anymore. Once again, the media, AND HIS LAWYERS, should be reminded that the polite use of the title AFTER an administration ends DOES. NOT. CONVEY. ANY. AUTHORITY.

(11,917 posts)the election has no bearing on the courts decisions and he needs to come up with a better defence. He cannot.

being sworn to to combat R's election shenanigans.

(6,900 posts)I continue to think that the immunity ruling is going to come back to bite the Trump Cult on the a$$ more than once.
Biden will have that immunity card until Jan 20, 2025. Hopefully, Harris will have it when she says, "I DO!"
