Former President Donald Trump is attending a scheduling hearing in Florida for his criminal trial on charges that he mishandled classified documents and national security secrets. At the hearing, Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, could set a date for the trial or choose to delay the case.a July 8 start date for the Florida trial, while Trump's lawyers suggested he stand trial Aug. 12. The hearing is expected to begin at 10 a.m. ET.
It's unclear so far what evidence Trump's team was asking to be reviewed at the hearing Friday, but in a court filing Thursday they indicated they wanted numerous evidentiary hearings on their motions to suppress information from the FBI's search of Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, and to compel the government to turn over any evidence related to their claims of selective and vindictive prosecution, and on prosecutorial misconduct.
Cannon had asked both sides to propose a schedule ahead of a hearing on the issue in Fort Pierce, Fla., on Friday. The case was initially scheduled to go to trial in May, but it’s been expected that the original start date would be pushed back because of a number of outstanding legal issues that have yet to be decided by the court.
