Trump Classified Documents Trial Postponed Indefinitely

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has cancelled the May 20 trial date for former President Donald Trump, citing the large number of pre-trial motions before the court as the reason. The postponement is a significant setback for special counsel Jack Smith, who brought charges against Trump. Judge Cannon did not set a new trial date, stating it would be imprudent to do so at this time, casting doubt on prosecutors' ability to bring Trump to trial before the November presidential election. Instead, pre-trial hearings will continue through July 22. Trump has pleaded not guilty to 40 federal counts accusing him of retaining sensitive national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
