By all appearances, prosecutors are not eager to try this case. There are good reasons for this (see here and here).

Judge Nachmanoff set a rapid schedule, befitting the EDVa’s well-earned reputation as the nation’s “rocket docket.” Trial is to commence less than three months from now, on January 5, 2026. The government unsuccessfully argued for more time, claiming that the case is complex. False statements cases are tough for prosecutors, but usually not complicated: you prove the statement made and prove why it was knowingly false. Moreover, when the government has waited until the tail end of the five-year statute of limitations to bring charges, prosecutors are in a poor position to claim they need extra time to get their ducks in a row. Unsurprisingly, the judge declined to delay matters.
