2024 ELECTION/LEGAL: “Donald Trump’s lawyers renewed their push Wednesday to postpone the former president’s classified documents trial until November 2024, a timeline that would move the case to the sidelines of the next presidential election.
In a Florida court filing, Trump’s legal team argued that the trial, scheduled for May, should start at least six months later because of another federal trial in which Trump will be tried as a defendant. They also argued that prosecutors in special counsel Jack Smith’s office haven’t yet handed over all evidence.”
