    EXCERPT:

    TAPPER: "Let's move to the news today, a federal judge just paused Donald Trump's 2024 election interference case, which could lead his March 2024 trial to be delayed. Earlier today, Trump lawyers compared Special Counsel Jack Smith to the Grinch for trying to keep the trial on schedule. Here's what they wrote. This is an honest-to-God court filing, my hand to God. Quote, 'This proposed schedule would require attorneys and support staff to work round-the-clock through the holidays, inevitably disrupting family and travel plans. It is as if the Special Counsel growled with his Grinch fingers nervously drumming, 'I must find some way to keep Christmas from coming. But how?'' So, the lawyers of Whoville could have oblique Christmases, I guess is the argument. What are their real world and political consequences and legal consequences if the trial is delayed? And how likely do you think it is?"
