Judge Considers Postponing Trump's Trial on Classified Documents at Mar-a-Lago

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago classified documents case expressed doubts about holding a trial in May 2024 and signaled a possible postponement. US District Judge Aileen Cannon raised concerns about the defense team's ability to prepare for trial amidst their other cases for Trump and a crowded trial schedule. Cannon also questioned if the current trial schedule would interfere with Trump's federal election interference trial set for March. Trump's lawyers have complained about limited access to classified evidence and requested a trial postponement until mid-November 2024. The defense teams have access to over 1 million pages of information in the case, while prosecutors argue to keep the trial dates as set. Trump, along with his co-defendants, has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
