Trump has now pleaded not guilty to all 37 counts. The Trump team is indicating that it will challenge the use of the Espionage Act. As stated last week, I am skeptical that such an attack would succeed given prior cases. Yet, even if successful, it would still leave six counts.

...The most important aspect of these initial challenges may be the delay that they will cause. Smith wants a speedy trial for a reason, but even if he can get through these challenges, Trump's litigation schedule may make a pre-election trial even more difficult.
