Judge Sets Aug. 14 Trial Date for Donald Trump for Mishandling Classified Documents

HeadlineJun 21, 2023

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s trial for mishandling classified documents has set an initial trial date of August 14 — one week before the first Republican presidential debate. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon set the date on Tuesday, but many legal experts expect the trial will be delayed. Cannon is a Trump-appointed judge who has served on the federal bench for less than three years. According to The New York Times, she has only overseen four short criminal trials in her time on the bench.
