Trump's Classified Documents Trial Date Set for May 2024

Former President Donald Trump's trial for his handling of classified documents is set for May 20, 2024. The trial date was set by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who lacks experience in criminal cases involving classified information. Trump faces 37 charges, including violations of the Espionage Act, for allegedly storing classified documents at his Florida resort and refusing to return them. The trial will be conducted under the rules of the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), which adds complexities and potential delays to the case.
