Judge Signals Doubts About Jack Smith’s Timeline

“A federal judge in Florida expressed skepticism Friday about the feasibility of special counsel Jack Smith’s plan to bring Donald Trump to trial in July on charges that he stashed government secrets at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office,” Politico reports.

“U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon did not immediately signal whether she believes the trial can still occur before the 2024 presidential election. But during the morning session of a pivotal hearing in the case, she worried that the complex legal issues surrounding the classified evidence required for the trial would quickly chew up the calendar over the next four months.”
