After Trump's lawyers asked for a mistrial, the judge asked the NY AG to respond to the motion. They asked for full separate hearing on the issue.
OAG’s position is that – putting aside the total lack of merit to Defendants’ application for a mistrial – it is preferable to have the Court hear and decide the application on full briefing pursuant to the OSC in the interest of judicial economy.
They asked for December 8th date because it's not urgent.
If the Court does order briefing, OAG requests until December 8, 2023 to submit its opposition given the demonstrable lack of urgency, the impending Thanksgiving holiday, and the fact that the ongoing trial necessitates considerable daily attention from OAG’s trial team.
I stand educated on it now. I appreciate it.
No problem.
