U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon presided over a hearing concerning former President Donald Trump’s upcoming trial regarding classified documents.
The trial, set for May 20th based on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of Trump, faced uncertainty as Judge Cannon did not confirm a start date during the hearing.
This indecision hints at a probable delay, potentially extending past the 2024 presidential election.
Special Counsel Jay Bratt advocated for a July trial start, arguing it would not breach Department of Justice guidelines against politically charged trials near elections.
Trump and Smith were present at the Florida courtroom, with Trump expressing skepticism about Smith’s proposed July date.
Smith has faced repeated setbacks from Trump’s legal team, stalling the proceedings for over a year.
Democrats, including Smith, aim to secure convictions against Trump before the 2024 election to aid President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign.
However, the likelihood of achieving this goal appears slim, leaving Biden without the advantage of leveraging legal action against his political rival.
Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche opposed holding a trial before the election, emphasizing that rushing proceedings would be unwise.
Democrats seek a significant trial outcome just before the election to boost their chances while Trump’s team aims to prevent such an eventuality.
Amid challenges faced by Biden in recent times and Trump’s resurgence in popularity, Biden’s prospects hinge on legal action led by figures like Jack Smith and Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.
However, with uncertainties surrounding their cases and mounting obstacles for Biden in economic and foreign policy realms, his path to victory in 2024 appears increasingly challenging.
ICYMI: Team Trump Responds After Illinois Judge Removes Him From State Ballot
What a joke … Jack Smith is an illegitimate Special Counsel appointee. He is NOT even qualified to be assigned.
Amen. Too bad that when he is removed Trump can’t hang his legal costs around Jack off’s neck.
Maybe not but more than likely, Jack will be hanged for treason, as will many others in Wash, DC !
Watch your back Jackoff Smith, your surroundings may be your demise.
Your not even a legal appointed Prosecuter but a puppet of the Communist in Washington DC and they know your a Moron and who’ll do their bidding.
There should be NO Trial. President Trump did not break the Law. Pedo Joe broke several Laws and due to his being SENILE he won’t be tried. If Pedo Joe is too SENILE to try then he is too SENILE to be in the Oval Office or run for a second term. Pedo Joe should be removed IMMEDIATELY from office for America and the World’s sake. Pedo Joe has already helped two TERRORIST GROUPS. That is a Crime against all humanity.
This is nothing more than Joe Biden trying to keep President Trump from becoming President again. I believe if all the election fraud were to be investigated you would find the President Trump is the rightful president. There were dirty voter rolls, people voting that didn’t vote through mail in ballots, I believe votes were fraudulent votes were added to the total Georgia vote count and just the number of votes cast said there was something wrong on the Biden Count. As far as Jan 6 why wasn’t Pelosi’s roll not ever investigated especially because she refused Trumps offer of National guard troops and the fact that her daughter and son in law professionally filmed. There is some awful fishy about it. President Trump did not want this to happen as he said march to the capital and peacefully let your voices be heard. President was exonerated of wrongdoing as he was not convicted in Pelosi’s rushed impeachment. I believe it to be a set up. Biden has weaponized the DOJ, The FBI and others to falsely convict President Trump and he walks away from have classified documents in his possession with any authority whatsoever to have them and it is punishable for him to have classified document from when he was a senator. It is time to drop all charges against President Trump and let we the people to be the judge of who we want to run our country. We need to ensure election integrity, ensure every legal vote is counted and votes from illegals are not counted, mail in voting done away with except in special circumstance like military serving overseas or in states other than where the live and severally handicapped and only with proper identification. We need to start bring our country back together without bias and agree to disagree and to discuss and the majority wins. We need to get back to our constitution as our governance, stopped reading into what it is not and keeping the federal government small and by all means cut spending and get our national debt paid down for future generations. This has to stop, all the excess spending, cramming goods like EV, destroying our appliances we use in our home, sending money to foreign countries that we don’t have and secure our southern borders. Any illegal coming into our country is too many. We need to use immigration laws that are on the books and asylum need to be on a case-by-case need, not millions coming in and just giving a court date and turned lose in our country. Asylum seekers need to apply an only when they are approved should they be allowed into our country. There have already been enough military age sine men ben allowed to form a military capable of doing grave damage to our country under Biden. We are the greatest country on earth before Biden and we can be that way again. We the people need to unite and take our country back for we the people.
I wonder how Biden will pay for all the lawyers he will need? Which one of his buddies will be footing the bill? As if Trump has no immunity neither does Biden and can be sued for all wrongful deaths due to him allowing the flood of illegals! In every state in the country! All the drug deaths Democrats promoted! The JAB they forced on millions of people! All the rapes and robberies, break in’s Theft! He will be liable for it all! Every illegal flight he used our money for! Maybe he can get a go fund me page! I would like to know how he will pay for the 80 billion in military hardware he left for the Taliban? That goes for all the judges as well! They can then be held accountable! EVERYBODY IN GOVERNMENT WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! Pelosi would be charged with insider trading and jailed! The FBI would be in jail for lying, The IRS, EPA, CIA, All of them held accountable! And no making new laws to protect them!
