"Special Counsel's Confrontation with Florida Judge Delays Trump Documents Case"

TL;DR Summary
Special counsel Jack Smith and judge Aileen Cannon are in a confrontation that could further delay Donald Trump’s trial in Florida on charges related to unlawfully possessing classified documents. The issue revolves around the possibility of Cannon agreeing that the former president is immune from prosecution under a federal law dealing with presidential records. Smith strongly disagrees with this argument and has signaled that he would appeal to a higher court if necessary, potentially pushing the trial past the November presidential election.
