Judge Chutkan Scolds Trump Lawyers in New Order [View all]

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan scolded former President Donald Trump's lawyers while granting them an extension to a missed deadline for filing documents in Trump's federal election subversion case.

Lawyers John Lauro, Todd Blanche, Gregory Singer and Emil Bove submitted an unopposed motion for leave to file multiple documents in Trump's case on Thursday night after missing a 5 p.m. deadline, explaining that "defense counsel set an internal deadline" and they "did not realize that the Court had adjusted the time in which to file."

Trump's legal team noted that special counsel Jack Smith, who indicted the former president on four felony counts accusing him of attempting to overturn his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden, approved of the deadline extension request, while promising to "ensure" that future filings are submitted by 5 p.m. deadlines.

Chutkan granted the request in a brief order on Friday, while seemingly chiding the Trump lawyers: "Going forward, the parties should seek any needed extensions of time before the deadline."
