When we last checked in on the Donald Trump classified documents saga, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had rejected special counsel Jack Smith’s motion to bar the defendant from making statements endangering law enforcement, stemming from Trump’s false suggestion that agents were complicit in a plot to assassinate him. Importantly, Cannon only rejected the motion on procedural grounds, allowing Smith to try again.
On that note, the judge isn’t even making his lawyers respond to Smith’s motion until June 14, with Smith’s reply due June 21. True to form, Cannon isn’t in a rush. To recap the timeline, Smith filed his initial motion May 24, which the judge rejected May 28 for what she deemed the government’s failure to properly confer with defense counsel in connection with the filing. Smith’s latest motion notes proper conferral as ordered.
