The trial of former US president Donald Trump for his alleged mishandling of classified documents and obstruction has been scheduled to begin on 14 August, but it will likely be delayed
A US JUDGE has scheduled the criminal trial of former president Donald Trump for his alleged mishandling of classified documents and obstruction to begin on 14 August.
The 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner was charged last week with 37 criminal counts over his refusal to return hundreds of government records he took on leaving the White House in 2021. Judge Aileen Cannon ordered both sides to file pre-trial motions by 24 July, setting aside two weeks for a trial in Fort Pierce, a two-hour drive north of Miami, where Trump was initially processed.The Southern District of Florida is known as a “rocket docket” jurisdiction, because its judges push for trials to start relatively quickly.
They will likely file multiple motions to dismiss the case and over the sharing of evidence that could take up to a year, according to some analysts, including former Trump lawyer Tim Parlatore.
