Tomorrow marks a crucial hearing in the Trump classified documents case, with the timing of the former president's trial under review following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to hear Trump's immunity dispute. Both sides are gearing up for tomorrow's arguments by proposing new trial start dates in the classified documents case. The special counsel is suggesting a start date of July 8th, while Trump's team is proposing August 12th, citing concerns about a fair trial before the election.
These proposed dates come after the original trial date of May 20th, indicating a potential delay in proceedings following tomorrow's hearing. The legal calendar shows a busy schedule leading up to August, making these new dates significant in potentially impacting the D.C. election case currently on hold due to the Supreme Court's involvement in Trump's immunity case.
Tomorrow's hearing in Florida is expected to last most of the day, with Donald Trump planning to attend. Both Trump's team and prosecutors are preparing for the trial, with prosecutors submitting a list of questions for potential jurors. One of the questions they may ask is whether the jurors believe the 2020 election was stolen.
There is also a disagreement over the length of the trial, with prosecutors recommending a four to six-week duration, while the defense is suggesting eight to ten weeks. Trump's legal team's strategy appears to involve proposing an even longer trial duration to potentially delay proceedings.
