In an absolutely mind-boggling twist of events, Trump’s legal eagles, Todd Blanche and Christopher Kise, had the audacity to ask Judge Cannon to delay the case until a whopping mid-November 2024. Can you believe that? They claimed that Smith’s team hadn’t even met their discovery obligations yet! It’s like these guys are trying to stretch this out longer than a rubber band on a hot summer day.

Well, in a shocking turn of events (not really, because this whole thing has been a rollercoaster of jaw-dropping moments), Judge Cannon pointed out that the amount of discovery in the case is like, super duper huge. Like, even more ginormous than they originally thought! The judge even mentioned that the classified discovery wasn’t even available to Trump’s team in full until October 17, 2023. Can you imagine the nerve of those guys, asking for more time to review the discovery? It’s like they’re trying to drag this whole thing out longer than a trip to the DMV.
So, in a move that may or may not make your head spin, Judge Cannon basically said, “Okay, fine. We’ll give you more time to review the discovery, but let’s not take forever, okay? The public has a right to a speedy trial, after all.” Can you believe it? It’s like the judge is trying to play fair, even when it’s clear as day that Trump’s legal team is just trying to stall for time like a kid who doesn’t want to go to bed.
And there you have it, folks! Another wild chapter in the never-ending saga of legal drama. Stay tuned for more updates, because you just know this story is far from over.
