Cannon said there were eight outstanding substantive pending motions for her to rule on and predicted this will take until at least late July.It is unknown whether the case will begin before the November 2024 presidential election.If elected, Trump has a number of options to kill the trial, including pardoning himself or appointing a favorable attorney general to drop the charges.Newsweek sought email comment from Trump's attorney and Cannon's office on Wednesday.Anthony V.
