Donald Trump’s defense lawyers got themselves more time to respond on key pretrial issues after the judge in the Mar-a-Lago case disregarded the special counsel’s complaint that the request was “unreasonable.”

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee and noted stickler for local rules like word count, evidently did not buy special counsel Jack Smith’s argument that the Trump team request for an extra 10 days was “unreasonable” under the local rules.
