Donald Trump and his legal team are changing their stance on the trial start date for his classified documents case. The former president faces 40 federal charges related to handling sensitive materials retrieved from Mar-a-Lago after leaving the White House.
Initially, his lawyers requested an August 12 trial start, citing Trump’s campaign commitments and other trials in different states. However, in a recent statement, they clarified that the August 12 date was meant for evidentiary hearings, not the actual trial. Now, they are seeking a trial date after the November election.
This shift is seen by analysts as a strategic move to delay the trial proceedings. By requesting a date after the election, Trump’s legal team may be aiming to push the trial to 2025 if Trump wins, potentially leading to dismissal.
