Federal Judge Aileen Cannon announced an updated schedule for the forthcoming trial of former President Donald Trump in the case dealing with his alleged mishandling of classified documents after leaving the White House and granted a continuance that will push the trial's start to May 20, 2024.
Responding to the government's motion seeking a continuance, Judge Cannon agreed to grant the motion in part after finding that "the interests of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendants in a speedy trial."
The Trump document trial was initially scheduled to begin on August 14 — now less than one month away — but Judge Cannon's order noted that all parties "agree that a continuance of the current trial date is warranted" due to discovery in the case being "exceedingly voluminous" which will "require substantial time to review and digest in accordance with Defendants' right to a fair trial."
In addition, Judge Cannon agreed to designate Trump's case as "complex" despite opposition from the government and said "the Court is unaware of any searchable case in which a court has refused a complex designation under comparable circumstances." Still, the case at hand remains the first time a former president has been indicted on felony charges.

Perfect. This trial should only take 21 days. Over well before the convention.
Don’t be too sure of that. Remember how long the OJ trial took? This is going to generate even more craziness.
So when is the veggies’s impeachment hearing? May 20th perhaps? The Republicans better get their heads out of their asses and put it on full gear because this is really pissing off people to levels unheard of! I want as an American citizen I want his impeachment hearing to coincide with trumps hoax trial May 20 scheduled! McCarthy and MTG getter done! This is the way you fight fire with fire!
Judge should DISMISS on grounds of Presidential Records Act or Clinton’s Socks Act.
BEFORE the election.
Bad for Trump
Good for Desantis
There is no “Good for DeSantis” only “Bad for Trump.” Trump represents the last dying breath of The GOP. If Trump is not on the ticket The GOP will cease being a viable national party. Most GOP voters absolutely despise the party.
The GOP currently controls The House but you would never know it. Biden is ruling unopposed on all the key issues of spending, the war in Ukraine, the wide open border, the weaponization of the government, the political persecution of the leading republican candidate for President, election integrity, and on and on.
