Judge open to adjusting trial date in Donald Trump indictment case involving classified documents.
Judge Signals Intent to Make “Reasonable Adjustments” to Trump’s Trial Schedule
The judge overseeing former president Donald Trump’s classified documents case has indicated her willingness to make “reasonable adjustments” to his trial schedule. United States District Judge Aileen Cannon made this announcement during a hearing in Florida federal court. The judge expressed concerns that the current schedule might clash with other trials Trump is involved in.
Trump’s Legal Team Pushes for Post-Election Trials
Trump’s legal team has been advocating for his criminal trials to be postponed until after the 2024 election. However, due to conflicts between his criminal and civil court cases, scheduling adjustments may be necessary. Judge Cannon is interested in issuing an order regarding these adjustments as soon as possible.
Contrasting Orders on Access to Classified Materials
Earlier in the day, the federal judges overseeing Trump’s criminal trials issued contrasting orders regarding his defense team’s access to classified materials. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case alleging Trump attempted to subvert the 2020 election, blocked him from seeing special counsel Jack Smith’s evidence. On the other hand, Judge Cannon issued a similar order in the case alleging Trump obstructed the government’s retrieval of classified documents from Mar-a-Lago.
Chutkan’s Order Allows for Summarized Information
Judge Chutkan’s order permits special counsel Jack Smith to summarize the classified information he plans to use in the 2020 elections case against Trump. However, Cannon’s order does not prevent Trump’s counsel from accessing the classified materials in the Mar-a-Lago case, at least for now.
Trump is facing multiple felony counts in both the D.C. case and the case related to his post-presidency handling of classified documents. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
