The judge overseeing Donald Trump's trial for alleged mishandling of national security secrets is considering pushing back the planned trial timeline due to the complexity of the case and the former president's multiple court dates. Judge Aileen M. Cannon expressed concerns about the compressed time frame and the looming deadlines for Trump's lawyers to file pre-trial motions. The debate largely revolved around a federal trial scheduled to begin in Washington on March 4, where Trump is accused of conspiring to obstruct the 2020 election results. Prosecutors argued that altering the trial date in Florida did not make sense, as the deadlines in other cases could change. However, Judge Cannon expressed skepticism about their position. Trump's lawyers emphasized the voluminous evidence in the case and the need for more time to review it. They also pointed out that the D.C. indictment came after the Florida trial date was set. The judge will rule on the schedule "as soon as possible." This case showcases the complexities of a trial involving highly classified documents and a defendant with multiple court dates while running for president.
