Fact check: True. All of it.

 

While this reporter attempts to blame Trump for delays in criminal trials, the blame rests with Jack Smith and Judge Chutkan.

 

Smith indicted Trump in June in classified docs case. He then filed a superseding indictment in July adding charges and 2 co defendants to further complicate the case. 

Cannon set a May 20 trial date, understating the case would involve a lot of litigation related to access to classified materials. Smith’s team then delayed creation of a secure location for viewing of sensitive discovery materials. 

 

Realizing they had a judicial headwind in Judge Cannon, Smith used the J6 committee report to produce a weak and rushed 4-count indictment against Trump for J6 in August—4 months after DC appellate court issued a “splintered” ruling on 1512c2 which represents half Smith’s indictment. He had to know the matter would head to SCOTUS. (Court granted cert in December and many DC judges are already bracing for a reversal.)

 

Instead of letting classified docs trial proceed first, Smith asked Chutkan for a 6-month timetable btw indictment and trial.

 

She granted a 7-month schedule to get ahead of FLA trial. 

When Trump’s defense lawyers complained that wouldn’t give them enough time to go through millions of pages of discovery, Chutkan said they should have been preparing for a year since they knew the indictment was coming.

 

Did neither Chutkan nor DOJ realize the presidential immunity issue would cause an automatic stay on DC proceedings? Trump’s team filed motion to dismiss on immunity grounds in Oct.

 

Chutkan took almost 2 months to respond, issuing her unprecedented order in December and prompting the case to go to DC appellate court then likely to SCOTUS. 

 

Meanwhile, Cannon paused most pretrial proceedings in classified docs case in November after Smith’s team failed to convince her the DC trial, set to begin March 4, would end in time to prepare for May trial in FLA.

 

She set a March 1 hearing to get a status report on DC trial. Chutkan officially vacated that trial date last week bc of hold up on immunity question.

 

Bottom line: No matter how media wants to spin this, delays in both trials a direct result of actions taken by Smith and Judge Chutkan.
