NightwingdragonTrump asks court to delay setting trial date in documents case | CNN Politics
This should be a surprise to nobody. He was expected to try this regardless of the circumstances.
The question is whether or not Cannon will grant the request. If she does, she’s going to cement her career as being nothing more than a partisan hack bought and paid for by Trump. If she doesn’t, he’s going to try to sabotage the trial by turning the MAGA Hate Machine in her direction and let the attacks fly.
Either way, there’s a political shitstorm coming.
It is more than just that - I was reading something earlier that talked about the scheduling of trials in general: State and local trials typically defer to federal trials when there is a conflict. If she choses to delay, the states (NY, possibly GA) will step in and run their trials, which could delay things on the federal calendar. Federal judges do not defer to the states - if she did so, she’d piss off every judge on the federal bench - not just the left leaning ones.

This hasn’t stopped her before. Remember that the last time she got slapped down, the members of the panel were all GOP. She cares about serving Trump. Pissing off the party in the process is just a cost of doing business.
