Three weeks after special counsel Jack Smith asked a federal court in Washington, D.C. for more time in former President Donald Trump's election interference case — as prosecutors grappled with the Supreme Court's recent immunity ruling — an 11th-hour filing was made in the case.
Former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman weighed in on the filing on X, calling it an "all-important joint submission from Smith and Trump to [Judge Tanya] Chutkan," about "how to proceed in light of Supreme Court immunity ruling."
"They are literally burning the midnight oil in DOJ and Trump's lawyers' office," he wrote just as the document was filed.
