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 Counsel’s 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 witnesses—especially in light of the extraordinary media coverage of this case (and immunity filings specifically) and the Presidential election that is less than 3 weeks away—and 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 Counsel’s 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 Trump’s objections and ordered the immediate public release of the Special Counsel’s 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...
