Episode notes
Trial Adjournment
- Judge Juan Merchan ordered a 30-day adjournment in the Trump trial, setting a new tentative date of April 15th.
- This followed a dispute over the late disclosure of 73,000 documents by the DOJ.
Impact of Late Disclosure
- The late document disclosure may not significantly impact the trial, as the relevant information seems minimal.
- Trump's lawyers will likely use this to argue for further delays.
Subpoenaed Documents
- The subpoenaed documents relate to grand jury proceedings involving Michael Cohen and Trump's catch-and-kill schemes.
- The DOJ may have been hesitant to disclose this information due to grand jury privilege and ongoing investigations.
