Former President Donald Trump will not have to respond to special counsel Jack Smith’s massive recent filing in the ongoing election interference case against him until after the election, a judge ruled on Thursday.
Smith's Wednesday filing exposed a multitude of accusations against the former president and alleged extensive attempts to interfere with the transfer of power from the Trump administration to that of President Joe Biden. D.C. judge Tanya Chutkan granted the ex-president’s motion to delay a response to that filing in part, denying an ask for a late-November response date but pushing the required response date until November 7.
