The Florida federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago case seemingly shot back at federal prosecutors on Friday. After they warned the judge that Trump was trying to “manipulate” her by seeking further delay, she came back with a curt response: their warning was too long.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District of Florida reportedly signaled at a Wednesday hearing that she would likely add another delay to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial, currently scheduled to be held in May.
At the hearing, Trump’s attorneys emphasized that they needed another delay in part because of the parallel January 6 case brought in D.C. Both the trial date and other scheduling issues, Trump’s lawyers said, “require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once.”
She might be a true believer. I was watching the colorado trial, holy shit what the true believer thought on the stand. He really thinks that it was “just a riot” at the capitol, not an insurrection because he didn’t partake. My favorite was when the petitioner’s lawyers asked about one of the videos the true believer took and if that was a pitchfork in a background dude’s hand. He then asked if that was a happy joyful thing to be carrying, lol.
