Judge Indefinitely Postpones Trump's May 20 Classified Docs Trial in Florida

May 7, 2024, 09:33 PM

Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed the trial of former President Donald Trump in Florida concerning the mishandling of classified documents. The decision to delay the trial, initially scheduled to begin on May 20, 2024, comes amid unresolved pre-trial motions and issues related to the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA). This postponement follows allegations from Trump's legal team that special counsel Jack Smith's team mishandled evidence. Judge Cannon formally vacated the May 20 trial date.
