On Thursday, U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith urged the federal judge presiding over the prosecution of Donald Trump for his retention of classified records to deny the former president's request to postpone his criminal trial.
In a court filing, prosecutors from Smith's office renewed their request for U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to schedule Trump's trial for Dec. 11, telling her "there is no basis in law or fact" to delay.
"The court should reject defendants’ invitation to defer consideration of a trial date, and should set jury selection to begin on Dec. 11, 2023," they wrote.
