In reply to the discussion: Trump's lawyers are now ordered to appear before the court by 5 PM on Monday [View all]Wonder Why
(4,576 posts)92. Yes, I did read it. I'd swear it had, at the end, that it was granted. My error but
I have to admit, I thought I saw the words.
I may have been confused by this information which proceeded it on the site with the pdf. But I can't explain why I thought it clearly said "approved". Sorry about that. Thanks for pointing it out.
MINUTE ORDER as to DONALD J. TRUMP: A status conference will be held in this matter on August 28, 2023 at 10:00 AM in Courtroom 9 before Judge Tanya S. Chutkan. The court waives the requirement for Defendant to appear at that conference. It is hereby ORDERED that Defendant shall file any motion for excluding the time until the next status conference from the Speedy Trial Act clock by August 8, 2023; and that the government shall file any opposition to that motion by August 13, 2023. It is FURTHER ORDERED that by August 10, 2023, the government shall file a brief proposing a trial date and providing an estimate of the time required to set forth the prosecution's case in chief during that trial; and that by August 17, 2023, Defendant shall file a response brief likewise proposing a trial date and estimating, to the extent possible, the time required to set forth the defense at trial. Signed by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on 8/3/2023. (ztl)

See above posts. This is not a motion to sanction TFG or to change the conditions of his release.

As the screenshot in #11 says, they have to produce a "revised version" of the protective order
