A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s trial date in his classified documents case would be postponed, citing ongoing problems with the case.
District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that the trial would be postponed indefinitely to resolve important pretrial issues.
Cannon wrote that scheduling a date for the case would be “imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pretrial motions pending before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations.” necessary judgment to present this case.” before a jury.
The trial was initially scheduled for May 20.
The case involving Trump’s possession of classified documents is considered by legal experts to be the most important legal case related to the election, as prosecutors accuse him of illegal possession of documents found in a Justice Department raid in his home in Mar-a-Lago.
The timing of the ruling raises even more questions about whether the case will go to trial before the 2024 election.
The ruling came after a dramatic day of testimony in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ case in New York.
