Ex-DOJ Official Shows How Postponing Trump's Docs Trial May Actually Backfire

Neal Katyal spotted one positive from the "atrocious" development.
Former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal on Tuesday slammed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s indefinite postponement of the trial of Donald Trump over his classified documents case as “atrocious.”
But the Obama-era Justice Department official said he did see one ray of light.
“The one thing I will say that’s a positive is that if the Supreme Court allows [special counsel] Jack Smith’s other trial of Trump and Jan. 6 to go forward, Judge Cannon’s decision today has now cleared the docket for Trump,” Katyal told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner.
Trump’s hush money trial “will be over in a month or so and then the coast is clear for Donald Trump to be tried for the crimes that he’s alleged to have committed on Jan. 6,” Katyal added.
Wagner asked Katyal about the chances of preemptive GOP presidential nominee Trump’s Jan. 6 federal trial happening before the 2024 election.
