Latest filings around the governments request for a protective order by scheduling a hearing for friday morning at 10 am sharp that is not what the former president s attorneys were hoping for after judge chutkans initial order to set a hearing by the end of the week Trump Lawyers responded by complaining about their obligations in their other federal case, and then offering availability next Monday Or Tuesday. While the former president is not planning to appear in fridays hearing, he doubled down on the very behavior at the center of it all in New Hampshire earlier today. How can my corrupt political opponent, crooked joe biden, put me on trial during an Election Campaign that i am winning by a lot . And forced amy nevertheless to spend time and money away from the Campaign Trail in order to fight bogus, made up accusations in georgia. Thats what theyre doing.
