I don’t see why Trump’s lawyers haven’t asked for a mistrial, on the basis that the judge (maliciously?) released information to the public that he later admitted he shouldn’t have released. He just said, “My bad,” and put it back under seal.

And as to malicious intent, in his statement along with release of the information, the judge stated something to the effect of, “My integrity in not recusing myself has been brought into question...”

If this isn’t the first motion in the Nov 28 trial, I will not understand why not.

I won't pretend to speak for them but I suspect that they are keeping it in their pocket in the event that the decision goes against them. Then they can use it as part of their appeal.
