The Trump-appointed judge overseeing his Mar-a-Lago documents case set a trial date for May 2024 but legal experts are skeptical that it will stick.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who is facing added scrutiny after issuing a series of pro-Trump rulings earlier in the documents probe that was overturned on appeal, scheduled the former president's trial for May 20, rejecting his lawyers' request to delay the trial indefinitely while setting the date well after the December start sought by special counsel Jack Smith.
