Trump's Attorneys Push for Delayed Trial Start Date Amidst Election Concerns

Donald Trump's attorneys are requesting a postponement of the federal criminal trial until after the 2024 election, citing challenges in the jury selection process and limited preparation time. The federal government is proposing a trial start date in December, but Trump's team argues it would be difficult to adequately prepare given other scheduled trials and campaign commitments. The decision on setting a trial date rests with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon. Trump and an aide have pleaded not guilty to charges related to the retention of classified documents after leaving the White House.
