A federal judge on Tuesday indefinitely delayed the trial date in the special counsel case against Donald Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents after leaving office.
In decision filed Tuesday, US district judge Aileen M Cannon vacated a planned 20 May trial date, writing that a host of issues around evidence, discovery, and the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) still needed to be decided before the high-profile trial could commence.
Judge Cannon argued in her decision that extending the pre-trial process through the end of July would “outweigh the best interest of the public and Defendants in a speedy trial.”
