Prosecutors in the election interference case against President-elect Donald Trump are seeking to vacate all deadlines, citing the 'unprecedented circumstance' of his reelection.
Special counsel Jack Smith emphasized that the request to vacate deadlines is to afford the Government time to evaluate this unprecedented circumstance and act accordingly.
The Department of Justice maintains a policy preventing prosecution of a sitting president, which adds complexity to the ongoing legal proceedings surrounding Trump.
Upon Trump's certification as President-elect, Smith's office will provide a status update to the Court by December 2 to communicate their deliberations.
