The trial of former President Donald Trump, accused of illegally hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate, has been indefinitely postponed by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon. The decision was anticipated due to unresolved issues in the case and Trump’s ongoing trial in Manhattan related to hush money payments during the 2016 election.
Judge Cannon deemed it “imprudent” to set a new trial date, casting doubt on the possibility of Trump standing trial before the November presidential election. Trump, who pleads not guilty and denies any wrongdoing, faces multiple felony counts for allegedly obstructing FBI efforts to retrieve the classified documents he took after leaving the White House in 2021.
As Trump seeks to reclaim the presidency, he is embroiled in four criminal cases. However, aside from the New York case, it remains unclear whether the other three will reach trial before the election. The Supreme Court is currently considering Trump’s claim of immunity from federal prosecution in a separate case charging him with plotting to overturn the 2020 election. Additionally, prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia have initiated a separate case related to election subversion, with the trial date yet to be determined.
