Kaelan Deese is a Supreme Court reporter for the Washington Examiner covering the latest happenings at the nation's highest court and the legal issues surrounding Second Amendment rights, abortion, and religious liberties. He previously wrote breaking news as a fellow for the Hill during the 2020 election cycle.

Special counsel Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump's legal team of attempting to delay both of his criminal trials in a warning to a judge that she may be"manipulated" by their arguments.

Cannon had suggested at the Wednesday hearing that she was open to altering her May 20, 2024, trial start date for Trump's case over alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the Oval Office and obstruction of the federal investigation. Trump's trial in Washington is tentatively set to begin on March 4, and Cannon conceded that her own trial could be affected by the Washington trial schedule.

The word"not" wasn't included in the final sentence of Bratt's filed brief, but a spokesman for Smith's office told the Washington Examiner that "the filing mistakenly omitted the word 'not' in that sentence."
