March 1, 2024: Trump vs. the courtroom clock
Donald Trump’s week has been a mixed bag. There was a victory of sorts as the Supreme Court agreed to hear his argument that he is immune from charges related to allegedly subverting the 2020 election — effectively granting him a bit of a delay in the trial. Then there was a humbling filing in which the former president and self-proclaimed billionaire admitted to not having the cash on hand he needs to pay the hundreds of millions of dollars he’s on the hook for in two civil suits — judgments he’s appealing and trying to postpone. And, finally, today, he faces vital hearing in his federal criminal trial over allegedly mishandling classified documents — one that could affect how long the trial date will be delayed. Legal editor James Romoser joins Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels to break it down for us.
