Former US President Donald Trump’s legal team has filed a request for an
indefinite delay of the trial concerning the release of documents related
to the January 6th Capitol riot. The trial, scheduled to begin next month,
aims to determine whether Trump can assert executive privilege to block the
release of White House records sought by the House committee investigating
the attack. Trump’s lawyers argue that the trial should be postponed until
after the 2024 presidential election, claiming that it could influence the
political process. The request has sparked a heated debate, with proponents
emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability, while Trump’s
legal team contends that the case is politically motivated.
