The schedule for former President Trump's classified documents case and his upcoming sentencing hearing for his criminal conviction in New York is set to coincide with his formal nomination for president, creating a tight timeline for legal proceedings and political events.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has outlined a series of hearings and deadlines in relation to the case. An additional hearing is scheduled from June 24 to 26, with deadlines for disclosures from the special counsel in early July and the defendants' speedy trial report due on July 19, the final day of the Republican National Convention.
Former President Trump is facing sentencing in Manhattan after being found guilty on all counts in New York v. Trump, a case stemming from District Attorney Alvin Bragg's investigation. The sentencing is set for July 11, just four days before the RNC convention commences.
Judge Cannon has planned a status conference for July 22, along with another hearing later that day. However, a new trial date has not been scheduled at this time.
The Republican National Convention is scheduled to take place from July 15 to 18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, adding further complexity to the timeline of events surrounding Trump's legal case and political aspirations.
