FORT PIERCE, Fla. — Federal district Judge Aileen Cannon did not immediately rule on the start date for the classified documents trial for former President Donald Trump.
Attorneys for the Justice Department, Trump and Trump's aide, Walt Nauta, argued in Cannon's courtroom in Fort Pierce, Fla., during a pre-trial hearing Tuesday afternoon. The timing of the federal trial is crucial as it could coincide with the 2024 presidential election.
