TL;DR Summary

The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's prosecution on charges of mishandling classified documents has hinted at making "reasonable adjustments" to the trial's timing, expressing concern that it could clash with Trump's other federal trial on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. Trump's lawyers have repeatedly sought to delay the proceedings, with hopes of postponing any legal reckoning until after Election Day. The timing of Trump's criminal trials in federal and state courts has added logistical complexity to pursuing charges against him as he mounts another run for the presidency. The judge has not specified how she plans to change the schedule but will issue a written order soon.
