Summary
Today - Glenn has an update on Special Counsel Jack Smith's latest activities as he continues to investigate the crimes of Donald Trump. First - prosecutors in Trump's classified documents case are asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to push the trial date back from August 14th to December 11th. Glenn explains this is because the case involves classified documents and Trump’s defense counsel is in the process of getting the necessary security clearances in order to view them. (Though they are dragging their feet!) Then, Jack Smith's 2020 election tampering/ January 6th probe is also blazing ahead. We now know that many witnesses and at least 2 fake electors are testifying before a grand jury in Washington D.C. If the fake electors have been granted limited immunity - does this mean prosecutors are nearing some charging decisions in the case?

| 0:20.8 | investigate the crimes of Donald Trump. So friends, in Donald Trump's federal criminal case, |
| 0:27.2 | pending against him in Florida for mishandling classified documents, obstructing justice |

| 0:41.8 | with Judge Aileen Cannon. Yes, she's still the presiding judge. Seeking a firm trial date |
| 0:49.2 | for December 2023, this coming December. Let's start with the reporting and then let's talk about |
| 0:58.7 | why this motion was filed and what it means regarding the Trump trials. |
| 1:18.9 | Here's the new reporting from CNN. Headline, special counsel asks for December trial date for |
| 1:28.1 | Trump in Mar-a-Lago documents case. And that article begins, the special counsel's office has |
| 1:34.8 | asked for Donald Trump to be tried in December in the Mar-a-Lago documents matter because of how |
| 1:41.1 | classified records must be handled carefully within the criminal case. A federal judge previously |
| 1:47.9 | put the trial on the calendar for mid-August, but a delay to the date was expected. |
| 1:54.7 | December, however, is not yet a firm date, and the Trump team may ask for a different schedule. |

| 2:09.1 | to be done on the case before trial by both the Justice Department and Trump's defense team. |
| 2:15.5 | And friends, here's my favorite part. This quote from Jack Smith's prosecutors. |
| 2:21.2 | Quote, this case is not so unusual or complex because it has only two defendants involves |
| 2:30.1 | straightforward theories of liability and does not present novel questions of fact or law. |
