A former federal prosecutor has a bone to pick with the Department of Justice.
Legal analyst Glenn Kirschner appeared on MSNBC's The Saturday Show With Jonathan Capehart, where he was asked about a recent 30-day delay in Donald Trump's criminal hush money case. The delay stems from an abundance of additional documents that have been input into the system in connection with a related case.
"The hush money trial in New York has been pushed back but still a hearing on March 25th. What can we expect out of that hearing?" the host asked.

"You know, the judge asked the parties to give him a detailed timeline about why there have been some late disclosures of documents and this one really gets my goat, Jonathan, because it looks like the late disclosures were not a product of Alvin Bragg and his prosecutors but of who? The Department of Justice specifically the southern district of new York U.S. attorney's office an arm of the Department of Justice. The reporting is that Alvin Bragg asked for documents ages ago. And for whatever reason, DOJ seems to be very late in turning things over. What I can tell you is a former career prosecutor, is that when you get stuff and you turn it over to the defense in you know, on the eve of trial or within a week or so of trial, delay is very likely to occur. And the reason I'm so concerned that the DOJ seems to be the one that for whatever reason was dragging its heels, we have yet to see the DOJ prosecute a single solitary member of the hierarchy of the insurrection."
He added, "I very much look forward to what the U.S. attorney's office and the Department of Justice has to say about it because i assume it will be all in that detailed timeline that Alvin Bragg's prosecutors and Trump's defense attorneys present" to the judge.
