A federal judge in Florida has declined to postpone former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial. U.S.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is at least a modest victory for special counsel Jack Smith’s team, which had vigorously rejected efforts to push off the trial beyond its scheduled start date of May 20, 2024. Trump’s lawyers had argued that they needed more time to review the large trove of evidence with which they’d been presented and cited scheduling challenges resulting from the other legal cases against Trump, including three additional criminal prosecutions for which he is awaiting trial.

    That isn’t a win, she’ll just push it back in March. She’s trying to not get removed from the case, it’s pretty obvious. What a POS she is.

      Yeah, she’s not moving back the trial, she’s just setting the conditions to make it impossible that the trial happen on schedule.
