A federal judge in Florida denied former President Donald Trump’s request to move his trial on charges of mishandling national security information until after the 2024 election — but said she would reconsider the case schedule early next year.

In a nine-page ruling issued Friday, US District Judge Aileen Cannon set a scheduling conference between lawyers for the 77-year-old Trump and prosecutors from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office for March 1, 2024, at which she said she would re-examine the defense request.

Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and Christopher Kise had asked Cannon last month to adjourn the case “until at least mid-November 2024,” claiming that Smith’s team had not yet met its discovery obligations.

In Friday’s ruling, Cannon noted that “the quantity of discovery in this case remains exceedingly voluminous, even more so than initially thought.”

“[C]lassified discovery did not become available to Defendants in its complete form (including on substantive counts) until October 17, 2023,” the judge added. “…Defendants need more time to review the discovery in this case. This Order aims to afford that opportunity in a reasonable fashion, balanced against the public’s right to a speedy trial.”
