Lawyers for former President Donald Trump told a judge they want a hearing for a protective order sought by prosecutors in his criminal election case delayed until next week, despite the judge asking both sides to offer her dates on or before Friday.
Prosecutors from the office of special counsel Jack Smith, in turn, told U.S. District Judge Tayna Chutkan they are available for the hearing on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
The protective order sought by Smith would bar Trump from publicly revealing some evidence collected during the criminal investigation.
The joint notice filed Tuesday said that Trump wants both of his lawyers, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, to be present for the hearing.
"Mr. Lauro is available on Thursday, with a preference for an afternoon setting," the filing said.
