(The Guardian) Florida federal judge to hold crucial hearing in Trump classified documents case
It’s another big day of legal wrangling for Donald Trump, who is expected in Florida for a major hearing in the case against him for allegedly hoarding classified government documents. Among the issues federal judge Aileen Cannon is set to consider is when to hold the trial, with prosecutors proposing a July start date and Trump’s lawyers suggesting August. The bigger question is whether a jury will hand down a verdict in any of the former president’s four criminal cases before the November election. The odds of that happening grew longer earlier this week, when the supreme court further delayed Trump’s trial for allegedly trying to overturn the 2020 election when it agreed to consider whether he was immune from prosecution.
