Former United States President, Donald Trump, has asked the federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case to indefinitely postpone, setting a trial date in court filings.
Trump suggested, at a minimum, that any scheduled trial should not take place until after the 2024 presidential election.
The former US President is once again running for office ahead of next year’s election, and he had voiced concerns over the investigation into leaked audio of him allegedly boasting about possessing still-classified military documents about Iran after he left the White House.
The filing argues that starting the trial in December 2023, as suggested by special counsel Jack Smith would be too soon, with US District Court Judge Aileen Cannon urged by Trump’s lawyers to wait until after the presidential election season.
Although prosecutors have suggested the case against Trump is relatively simple – despite any issues with bringing a former president to trial – his attorneys argue it will be much more complicated
