Former President Donald Trump’s campaign on July 21 called the new May 2024 court date for his federal criminal trial a “major setback” to Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors.

Scheduled to begin on May 20, 2024, the new trial date was set earlier that day by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon following extension requests from both Special Counsel Jack Smith and Mr. Trump’s legal team.
