Judge Sets Trial Date for Trump Documents Case

“A Florida judge has set an initial Aug. 14 trial date for former President Donald Trump in the Justice Department’s case over his retention of classified documents,” The Hill reports.

“Judge Aileen Cannon set the preliminary trial date for roughly two months after Trump’s arraignment at her courtroom in Fort Pierce, Fla. The judge said in a Tuesday filing that all pre-trial motions must be filed by July 24.”

“Trump and his team are expected to push to delay the trial through those motions, however, making it unlikely that the Aug. 14 date will hold.”
