The federal judge overseeing the case involving Donald Trump’s potential mishandling of classified documents has set a trial date for May 2024.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump-appointed justice, rejected the former president’s plea to postpone the trial until after the upcoming presidential election. She also rejected the Department of Justice’s request to begin in December.

“[T]he Government’s proposed schedule is atypically accelerated and inconsistent with ensuring a fair trial,” Cannon wrote.
