TL;DR Summary

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump are requesting that his criminal trial on charges related to retaining classified documents be scheduled after the November presidential election, arguing that it would be unfair to have it earlier. The prosecutors' proposed start date of July 8 was deemed unworkable and an impossibility for Trump, who is the front-runner for the Republican presidential nomination. Trump is also facing a trial in New York on charges related to a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, with his defense arguing that he has known about this trial date for months.
