Trump's Lawyer Says It'd Be 'Unfair' to Make Him Face Consequences Before Election
A lawyer for Donald Trump argued on Friday that it would be "unfair" to make the former president stand trial before the presidential election.
The former president was in Florida on Friday, where a federal judge he appointed signaled she could push back the trial in his classified documents case
The start date for the Florida trial on Donald Trump‘s mishandling of classified documents is in the hands of a judge the former president appointed to the federal circuit.
The trial, currently scheduled to begin May 20, is likely to be delayed after prosecutors and defense attorneys met at a federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, on Friday.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Trump to the Southern District of Florida in 2020, said the timeline proposed by prosecutors for a trial this summer was “unrealistic.”
The hearing ended Friday without a new start date, though Cannon said the proposed schedule needs “some space” and “flexibility,” according to CNN.
