Former President Donald Trump’s legal team filed court papers Wednesday asking a judge to push the federal classified documents case back to “in or after mid-November 2024.”
The trial on charges of allegedly mishandling classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence, which is among four criminal cases the Republican former president is facing, is slated for May 20, 2024, in Florida. Special counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges against the former president, has rejected President Trump’s previous efforts to push back dates in the case and will likely do so again in response to his latest court filing.
