The meetings can take place no earlier than the second half of July or even August, which can be considered a victory for Trump.
The start of the criminal case against former US President Donald Trump on charges of illegal possession of secret documents has been postponed indefinitely. The corresponding decision was made by the Florida state court, Reuters reports.
It is known that the second criminal trial against the former president will begin on May 20. However, both the prosecution and lawyers agreed to postpone this date. With a high probability, meetings can take place no earlier than the second half of July or even in August.
The defense hopes to delay the case longer, virtually ensuring that a verdict will not be reached before the November presidential election, so that the trial does not interfere with Trump’s campaign.
Let’s remember that last year Trump was indicted on seven counts under the Espionage Act. It stems from the improper storage of classified documents at his Florida residence after he left the presidency in 2021.
Before this, 11 sets of secret documents were confiscated from Trump during the search.
The judge told Trump he could go to jail
