U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision represents a slight win for special counsel Jack Smith’s team, which had strongly opposed delaying the trial, scheduled to begin on May 20, 2024. Trump’s defense cited the extensive amount of evidence to review and conflicts arising from other legal actions against Trump, including three separate criminal cases awaiting trial, as reasons for seeking a postponement. Judge Cannon, in her hearing this month and reiterated in her Friday order, expressed understanding for the defense’s position. She acknowledged the “exceptionally large amount of both classified and unclassified evidence” in the case and the coinciding schedules of Trump’s upcoming federal trial in Washington and a state trial in New York next March. Cannon acknowledged the overlapping schedules and potential challenges in ensuring Trump’s adequate preparation for trial and assistance in his defense. As a result, she extended several pretrial motion deadlines but kept the original trial date. However, she noted the possibility of reconsidering this decision at a scheduling conference scheduled for next March. The Florida case involves numerous felony allegations against the former Republican president for allegedly retaining classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate and concealing them from federal investigators. Trump has entered a plea of not guilty. Trump is also facing a federal trial in Washington on March 4, 2024, for charges related to attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, lost to Joe Biden. Additionally, he faces charges in Georgia for alleged interference with the state’s vote count and in New York for alleged falsification of business records linked to payments to Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election. Furthermore, Trump is involved in a business fraud lawsuit in New York, where a trial is underway. Trump has consistently denied all accusations, claiming they are politically motivated attempts to prevent his return to the presidency.
