A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s trial date for his classified documents case would be postponed, citing issues with the case.
District Judge Aileen Cannon ruled that the trial would be postponed indefinitely in order to resolve significant pre-trial issues.
Cannon wrote that scheduling a date for the case would ‘be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court, critical CIPA issues, and additional pretrial and trial preparations necessary to present this case to a jury.’
The trial was initially scheduled for May 20th.
The timing of the ruling further raises doubts whether the case will go to trial before the 2024 election.
