A federal judge in Florida on Tuesday set a preliminary start date of Aug. 14 for the criminal trial of former President Trump in connection to his handling of classified documents.
Driving the news: Trump, the 2024 Republican presidential frontrunner, pleaded not guilty last week after facing a historic 37-count indictment.
- Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that all pre-trial motions should be filed by July 24.
Yes, but: The start date is unlikely to hold. Trump and his legal team are expected to push a flurry of motions and challenges in an attempt to delay the trial, Axios’ Alex Thompson reports.
All My Best wishes for Pres Trump legal team and his campign
Wishing you the best
