"Trump's Classified Documents Trial Set for May 2024, Just Months Before Election"

A federal judge has set the trial date for former President Donald Trump's case on mishandling classified documents for May 20, 2024, months before the November 2024 presidential election. The judge's decision comes after Trump's defense team argued for a trial delay until after the election, while the Department of Justice wanted the trial to begin in late 2023. Trump, who is currently leading the 2024 Republican primary field, pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal counts related to retaining classified documents and allegedly concealing them from the government.
