Special Counsel Requests December Trial for Trump Documents Case

The Special Counsel has requested a delay in the trial of former President Donald Trump and his aide, Walt Nauta, on federal charges related to their handling of classified documents. The trial had been scheduled for August 14, but the prosecutor said it could take up to 60 days before defense attorneys obtain the necessary security clearances to view certain evidence in the case. The office suggested a December 11 trial date. Trump was arraigned on June 13, pleading not guilty to 37 felony counts related to his alleged mishandling of classified documents.
