President Trump’s legal team just filed an urgent motion to delay his classified documents trial until after the 2024 presidential election. Trump’s team argued “American democracy” is at risk because a “miscarriage of justice” will result if the Deep State’s political prosecution continues as planned.
A federal grand jury indicted President Trump last month on 37 felony charges. And there may be additional charges, meaning a separate indictment filed in Washington, D.C., very soon. And they all want to start legal proceedings in December, right before the 2024 election campaign really begins to heat up. If you don’t think the radical Left’s pushing hard to get these trials going before the election is a calculated strategy to try to prevent Trump from being re-elected, you need to guess again.
The prosecution is hardly giving President Trump’s legal team the proper time to prepare a defense, especially in such a complex case as this one, as our own ACLJ Senior Counsel Andy Economou explained:
“Today, July 11th, the trial – according to the prosecutors – they want it to start December 11th, 2023, which is hardly sufficient time to prepare a complicated case like this for trial. I’ve had trials that have gone on, that have been indicted, and haven’t been tried for two or three years because they’ve been certified as complex cases. Here you’ve got the Presidential Records Act implicated. You’ve got search warrants that were executed in Mar-a-Lago that may be subject to motions to suppress. You’ve got the question of the President of the United States who’s announced that he’s going to run again against a former President of the United States, so you’ve got an entire jury pool in the southern district of Florida that’s going to be implicated in doing this. So Judge Cannon is going to have to make some very difficult decisions in this case and decide what she’s going to do.”
For every count – every so-called classified document – you have to go to the Classified Information Procedures Act. Of the 37 counts against former President Trump, 31 are classified. That means they’ll have to refer to the Classified Information Procedures Act 31 times alone. Imagine how long that is going to take. This case would absolutely benefit from – and more to the point – clearly requires more time. Otherwise, it’s not a speedy trial; it’s just a hasty trial. We know how fair hasty trials tend to end up, and perhaps that’s exactly why the Left would like to see that. Requesting more time seems completely appropriate. Now we just have to wait to see if the motion is accepted.

Independent Journalism Is Dying
Ever since President Trump’s miraculous victory, we’ve heard an incessant drumbeat about how legacy media is dying. This is true. The people have awakened to the reality that they’re being lied to by the self-proclaimed “Arbiters of Truth” for the sake of political expediency, corporate self-protection, and globalist ambitions.
But even as independent journalism rises to fill the void left by legacy media, there is still a huge challenge. Those at the top of independent media like Joe Rogan, Dan Bongino, and Tucker Carlson are thriving and rightly so. They have earned their audience and the financial rewards that come from it. They’ve taken risks and worked hard to get to where they are.
For “the rest of us,” legacy media and their proxies are making it exceptionally difficult to survive, let alone thrive. They still have a stranglehold over the “fact checkers” who have a dramatic impact on readership and viewership. YouTube, Facebook, and Google still stifle us. The freer speech platforms like Rumble and 𝕏 can only reward so many of their popular content creators. For independent journalists on the outside looking in, our only recourse is to rely on affiliates and sponsors.
But even as it seems nearly impossible to make a living, there are blessings that should not be disregarded. By highlighting strong sponsors who share our America First worldview, we have been able to make lifelong connections and even a bit of revenue to help us along. This is why we enjoy symbiotic relationships with companies like MyPillow, Jase Medical, and Promised Grounds. We help them with our recommendations and they reward us with money when our audience buys from them.
The same can be said about our preparedness sponsor, Prepper All-Naturals. Their long-term storage beef has a 25-year shelf life and is made with one ingredient: All-American Beef.
Even our faith-driven precious metals sponsor helps us tremendously while also helping Americans protect their life’s savings. We are blessed to work with them.
Independent media is the future. In many ways, that future is already here. While the phrase, “the more the merrier,” does not apply to this business because there are still some bad actors in the independent media field, there are many great ones that do not get nearly enough attention. We hope to change that one content creator at a time.
Thank you and God Bless,
JD Rucker
