TL;DR Summary

Former President Donald Trump has requested a delay in his Florida trial on charges of illegally retaining classified documents until after the 2024 presidential election, putting pressure on Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee. The judge has already faced criticism for her handling of the case, but legal analysts say it would be difficult to have her removed. Trump's lawyers claim there have been delays in obtaining the classified records cited in the indictment, while prosecutors argue that the trial should proceed as scheduled. Trump's request for a postponement raises questions about the impact on his defense and the potential for using a presidential campaign as a means to avoid prosecution.
