"Trump's Legal Triumph: Delay Sought in Classified Documents Trial"

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump appeared in federal court in Florida to request a delay of his criminal trial on charges of mishandling classified documents until August, just before the U.S. presidential election, citing concerns about a fair trial while campaigning. His lawyers argued for the postponement, while federal prosecutors proposed a trial start in July. Trump's delaying tactics have already yielded results in other cases related to his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, with one trial set to begin in March. The criminal cases pose both legal and political risks for Trump, with polling indicating potential voter backlash if he is convicted.
