Trump's classified documents case trial date postponed
Former President Donald Trump's classified documents trial date has been postponed indefinitely.
Former President Donald Trump’s classified records trial stemming from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation was postponed indefinitely on Tuesday.
The trial was set to begin on May 20, but U.S. district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida Aileen Cannon postponed it, citing unresolved issues in the case, the sensitive nature of the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), as well as the fact that some of Trump's attorneys are currently defending him in the New York hush money case.
"Finalization of a trial date at this juncture…would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury," she wrote.
Cannon did not set a new date, reducing the likelihood that the trial will happen before the November election.
