Hello and welcome to prosecuting Donald Trump, the September edition.

So it is September, you know, if you all, since we're both academics these days,

it's like we're back in the fall swing of things so this semester having started.

Anyway, I always forget to do this. I'm Andrew Weisman. And guess who I'm here

with? Your co-host, Mary McCord.

Uh, yes, good morning everyone.

It is our hundred and first episode.

I know, we were thinking that this would be our hundredth, but we had our emergency episode last week because of the

indictment. The preceding indictment in the January 6th case in DC.

So today really we'll be talking about sort of the next step of that

because on Friday the parties filed what they labeled a joint status report

but really it is a disjointed status report because the parties that is Mr Trump and his attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith and his team pretty much don't agree on anything about how this case should proceed in the wake of the superseding indictment and the Supreme Court's opinion.

The first line is very funny because they say we submit this joint filing and this is what we agree on.

We agree essentially that there needs to be a joint file.

That's right, that's exactly right.

But then it's like a Frankenstein.

It's like two pieces like mashed together.

The only substantive thing they agreed on is the Speedy Trial Act should be told during this period like okay

There we go all right. So we're gonna get into that and what the impact of that is we'll talk also about Trump's effort to remove his Manhattan

case to federal court. Remember this case was prosecuted. He was found guilty by

a jury of 34 counts in state court and he is scheduled to potentially,

maybe, maybe not, be sentenced on September 18th and he is now at the last minute 11th hour saying no no no no
