Former President Donald Trump’s lawyers have made their strategy plain in the Jan. 6 case overseen by special counsel Jack Smith.
In a joint filing between Trump and Smith’s teams on Friday, attorneys for Trump laid out a schedule of filings and pre-trial hearings that would delay the election interference case beyond Inauguration Day in 2025. Should Trump win the election in November, he would be able to instruct the Department of Justice to dismiss the case once he took office.
