In the J6 DOJ trial (the big one) yesterday was Trump's deadline for filing pretrial motions.
(See attached minute order)
No surprise, his lawyers filed a bunch of motions just before the deadline.
Here's the thing about defense motions in criminal proceedings: Defendants are given lots of leeway to file motions that don't have a chance. The lawyers run into trouble only if they lie or misrepresent facts.
This is because of how much is at stake in criminal cases.
