The case schedule for Donald Trump’s classified documents case may be pushed back, according to Judge Ann Cannon.
Trump’s case is pending in front of U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta in the District of Columbia, who is presiding over the case. The underlying dispute revolves around whether Trump’s financial documents should be disclosed to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Now, District Court Judge Cannon, who is overseeing the case, is raising concerns about the schedule for the proceedings. Judge Cannon recently said that the schedule laid out in the case may need to be adjusted to give more time to both sides.
If the motion is granted by Judge Cannon, it could delay the proceedings by several weeks or even months. The House Ways and Means Committee will have to contend with the delay in its efforts to obtain the documents related to Trump’s finances.
In the larger picture, the case is yet another clash between Trump and Congress. Trump has consistently sought to withhold the sought-after financial documents from Congress. The House Ways and Means Committee, along with the House Judiciary and House Intelligence Committees, have sought certain documents from Trump in recent months.
The documents at the center of the case are crucial to congressional investigations into possible conflicts of interest involving the Trump Organization, and they could provide a wealth of information that is not available from any other source.
Trump’s legal team maintains that the House Ways and Means Committee’s request for the documents is politically motivated and an unconstitutional abuse of power. Trump’s attorneys plan to appeal any ruling by Judge Mehta in favor of the House Ways and Means Committee.
The delay in the case schedule serves as a set back for congressional efforts to obtain Trump’s financial documents. Judge Cannon’s decision on the motion, however, could shift the course of the proceedings. The case is being closely watched by groups and individuals from both sides of the aisle.
