Jack Smith winding down Trump cases before inauguration, asks judge to cancel deadlines
By Tom Howell Jr. - The Washington Times - Friday, November 8, 2024
A federal judge is granting special counsel Jack Smith’s request to cancel pretrial deadlines in the election subversion case against President-elect Donald Trump as the government finds a way to deal with his victory and looming inauguration.
Mr. Smith is winding down his cases against Mr. Trump because of a policy that dictates sitting presidents aren’t liable for criminal prosecution.
A motion filed with U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday said the government is deliberating its steps ahead of the Jan. 6 certification of Mr. Trump’s win and the Jan. 20 inauguration.
“The government respectfully requests that the court vacate the remaining deadlines in the pretrial schedule to afford the government time to assess this unprecedented circumstance and determine the appropriate course going forward consistent with Department of Justice policy,” Mr. Smith wrote.
The motion said government prosecutors will update the court on its deliberations by Dec. 2 and that Mr. Trump’s attorneys didn’t object to the request to cancel looming filing deadlines.
Judge Chutkan granted the request shortly after it was filed.
