Jack Smith Pushes Back on 2026 Trial Date

Donald Trump's lawyers made an absurd request of Judge Tanya Chutkan, asking her to put off Trump's DC trial for attempting to overturn the results of the presidential election until April 2026.Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team of federal prosecutors filed their reply, and they debunked and/or put in accurate context the ridiculous claims Trump's lawyers dumped into their court filing.In reading Smith's 6-page court filing, it becomes crystal clear that, in Smith and his team, we the people have a fierce advocate for a speedy trial, for the rule of law, and for the pursuit of justice.Then Glenn's next topic is about one of Trump's employees. The world of Trump is crumbling. Many of the witnesses who could incriminate Donald Trump are being represented by Trump world attorneys: lawyers being paid with Trump PAC money. One such lawyer, Stanley Woodward, was representing a witness named Yuscil Taveras, the former IT Director at Mar-a-Lago. Woodward also represents Trump's co-defendant Walt Nauta. Taveras testified before the grand jury and, according the a court filing by Special Counsel Jack Smith, Taveras lied, with those lies having the effect of protecting Nauta and Trump. This represents a clear conflict of interest for attorney Woodward, as one of Woodward's clients committed crimes to protect another of Woodward's clients. Accordingly, Jack Smith filed a motion to get a conflict free attorney appointed to represent Taveras. Once Taveras had a lawyer who was zealously and ethically representing HIS interests, he retracted his lies and told the truth, implicating/incriminating Nauta and Trump. This podcast explores all these issues and highlights the importance of the 6th Amendment's guarantee of not only counsel but conflict-free counsel.
