Trump’s classified documents trial set for May 2024

A federal judge has set a trial date for next May in Donald Trump’s classified documents case. May 20th, 2024 is the trial date for the former president in a case charging him with illegally retaining hundreds of classified documents. Trump’s legal team wanted to delay the trial until after the 2024 presidential election, while prosecutors had requested a trial to begin this December. U-S District Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision to hold the trial next May is a compromise between the two sides and means the trial will not start until deep into the presidential nominating calendar.
