In a hearing before U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, prosecutors said they want the trial to begin in July. Trump's lawyers want to postpone it until next year, after the presidential election.Former President Donald Trump, aide Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos de Oliveira face some 40 criminal counts over classified documents found at Trump's Florida residence and club.
Under the original schedule, the trial was supposed to start in May. But the case has moved much more slowly than even U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon seems to have anticipated. Much of that has to do with Trump's defense. The former president's lawyers have sought access to reams of classified material, leading to extensive motions filed under seal and a closed two-day hearing.More recently, Trump's lawyers filed at least a dozen motions asking Cannon to dismiss the case.
Although Trump has asked for an August trial date, his lawyers said Friday they think the trial should be put off until well after the election."It's completely wrong and unfair to the American people and to former President Trump that he has to spend six weeks here in court rather than out campaigning," Blanche told the judge.
