Trump Mar-a-Lago classified files trial date set for May 2024
Former President Donald Trump will face trial on 20 May next year for allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Prosecutors accuse Trump of illegally keeping secret files and obstructing government efforts to retrieve them. Trump, who pleaded not guilty to 37 federal counts, has criticized the case as an attempt to undermine his election campaign. The trial will take place during the 2024 election campaign, and for prosecutors to secure a conviction, the jury's decision must be unanimous. Trump is also facing other legal challenges, including charges of falsifying business records in New York and investigations into his role in the US Capitol riot and attempts to overturn the 2020 election results.
