Summary
Attorneys for Donald Trump have filed a motion in court asking to postpone his Florida classified documents trial indefinitely. Glenn says the excuses he gave Judge Eileen Cannon are ridiculous. Then, it seems the Department of Justice has finally righted a wrong and changed their minds in the E. Jean Carroll case. They have now decided to abandon plans to defend Trump in the lawsuit - saying in a court filing that they no longer believe he was acting within the scope of his presidential duties when he defamed her in 2019. Glenn says "Better late than never!"

| 0:00.0 | It's time for Justice Matters, with former Federal Prosecutor and MSNBC analyst, |
| 0:05.0 | Glenn Kertzner. |
| 0:15.7 | Attorneys for Donald Trump have filed a motion in court to try and post-pone his Florida class |
| 0:20.9 | five documents trial. Will Judge Cannon fall for this trick? Here's Glenn. |
| 0:26.2 | So friends, Donald Trump's lawyers just filed a brief with Judge Aileen Cannon in federal |
| 0:31.6 | court down in Florida saying he can't possibly go to trial in December 2023 and urging Judge |
| 0:41.4 | Cannon to set no trial date at all. One of the main reasons he gives in this 10-page brief, |
| 0:51.3 | which is a real piece of work, is that he's just going to be too damn busy running for president. |
| 1:02.4 | Not going to have time for, you know, a little federal prosecution that has been brought against him. |
| 1:09.6 | What I want to do friends is just read a few select passages from this 10-page brief and I'll read |
| 1:18.0 | the actual words and then I'll translate. What is Donald Trump really saying? Here is how |
| 1:25.8 | the 10-page brief opens. The defendant's president, Donald Trump and Waltine Nauta respectfully |
| 1:34.9 | request that this court deny the government's proposed scheduling order, withdraw the current order |
| 1:42.4 | and postpone initial consideration of any rescheduled trial date until after substantive |
| 1:50.7 | motions have been presented and adjudicated. So what does Donald Trump saying there? |
| 1:58.5 | Get rid of all existing trial dates or proposed trial dates and let's spend months and months |
| 2:07.2 | just litigating motions and maybe when that's all done, the court can get around to setting a trial date. |
| 2:16.9 | Why is Donald Trump taking this position? Well, because he boldly asserts that after he wins all |
| 2:23.9 | of the motions, it will result in a dismissal of the indictment. Donald Trump then complains about |
| 2:33.6 | the sheer volume of documents collected. What's the translation? I stole so many documents. |
| 2:41.3 | There's so much evidence here that we can't possibly go to trial in a timely manner. My attorneys |
| 2:48.1 | need months and months and months just to go through the enormous volume of documents I stole |
