YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDonald Trump is facing an Aug. 14 trial date in the case against him by the Justice Department alleging the mishandling of classified documents, but that will likely be delayed once the former president’s legal team lodges expected legal challenges to the indictment and the government’s evidence.
Trump is accused of unlawfully holding on to sensitive national security information after he left the White House in January 2021 and of obstructing the government’s efforts to identify and retrieve the records. Last week, he pleaded not guilty in a Miami federal courtroom to federal charges he mishandled state secrets.
The August 14 trial date set in a Tuesday order from US District Judge Aileen Cannon is not set in stone. Lawyers for the former president could file motions asking to dismiss the indictment or challenging the use of certain categories of evidence, which would require more time to litigate before any trial. They can waive Trump’s right to a speedy trial and ask for more time to prepare, citing the complexity of the case or the need to work around Trump’s other court dates and campaign schedule.
Todd Blanche didn’t immediately return an email seeking comment about Cannon’s trial date order. Trump has denied wrongdoing and assailed the case as politically motivated.
