“It strikes me that what you’re trying to do is affect the presentation of evidence in this case in a way so as not to impinge on the election of the president,” #Chutkan told #Lauro, after the #Trump lawyer objected to an order that would let prosecutors make their case first. “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule.”

“Mr. #Trump is not above the law, but he is not below the law. He should not be treated differently than any other person that appears before your honor,” #Lauro said.
Judge #Chutkan looked & sounded skeptical of many of Lauro’s arguments. “You & I have a very very different estimate of the time that is needed to prepare for this case,” she said.#Jan6 #ElectionInterference #Conspiracy #law #legal #justice

#Trump #lawyer John Lauro, in arguing that he needs 2 years to prepare for the DC #federal #charges against his client, said there are 250 potential govt #witnesses “and counting” so far.
#Lauro noted that figure doesn’t incl any potential #defense witnesses, & efforts by Trump’s legal team to conduct their own investigation.#Jan6 #ElectionInterference #Conspiracy #law #legal #justice

#Lauro argued that he needed ample time to review the #evidence & prepare a #defense for #Trump.
“This man’s liberty & life is at stake & he deserves an adequate representation,” Lauro said. “As an experienced defense #lawyer, we cannot do this in the time frame that the government has outlined.”
#Chutkan replied: “I understand, Mr. Lauro but you are not going to get two more years. This case is not going to trial in 2026.”#Jan6 #ElectionInterference #Conspiracy #law #legal #justice

John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
“This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.
