CNN —Judge Aileen Cannon is asking the Justice Department and Donald Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta to weigh in on the legality of special counsel Jack Smith’s ongoing grand jury activity in Washington, DC, which relates to the obstruction portion of the Mar-a-Lago documents case before her in Florida. In an order Monday, Cannon said Nauta’s lawyers “shall address the legal propriety of using an out-of-district grand jury proceeding to continue to investigate and/or to seek post-indictment hearings on matters pertinent to the instant indicted matter in this district” by August 17. The special counsel previously told Cannon that “the grand jury in this district [in Florida] and a grand jury in the District of Columbia continued to investigate further obstructive activity,” which resulted in the latest group of criminal charges before her against Trump, Nauta and a third defendant, Mar-a-Lago employee Carlos De Oliveira. Taveras had been represented by the same attorney as Nauta, but received a target letter after the June indictment of Trump and Nauta. He Trump and Nauta have pleaded not guilty to all charges.

When the White House refused it, citing high maintenance costs, Donald Trump purchased the estate. The 20-acre Mar-a-Lago property, meaning "Sea to Lake" in Spanish, is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and Lake Worth. While in office, he referred to the estate as the "Winter White House." Former White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham alleges Trump casually presented some of the documents to guests of the estate. Tuesday, Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump nominee, will preside over Trump's first pretrial hearing for the case.

In three months, Trump faces a civil fraud trial that could run his Trump Organization out of New York. There's Jack, and Fani, and Alvin, of course, all poised to prosecute the former president criminally. And Donald Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump would further be banned from ever running a business anywhere in the state. The financial and psychic toll to being a mogul in exile would be great, two Trump biographers told Insider.

☆ Prosecutors blast Trump bid to discuss classified information at home with lawyers

Former U.S. President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at a campaign event in Council Bluffs, Iowa, July 7, 2023. Federal prosecutors in a new court filing blasted a request by Donald Trump to be allowed to discuss classified information for his criminal case in Florida at home with his defense attorneys, outside of a specially secured room. "Defendant Trump's personal residences and offices are not lawful locations for the discussion of classified information, any more than they would be for any private citizen," prosecutors wrote. The filing noted that since the end of Trump's presidency in January 2021, neither Mar-a-Lago nor his summer residence at his Bedminster, New Jersey, club have been authorized locations to store, possess or discuss classified information. Prosecutors are proposing that Judge Aileen Cannon issue a protective order that would require Trump and his lawyers only to discuss classified information with each other with a so-called SCIF, or sensitive compartmented information facility, which is designed to prevent people not authorized to hear the information from doing so.

He is accused alongside Trump and Walt Nauta of obstructing the investigation with the alleged bid to delete security footage at Trump’s Florida resort. Trump and Nauta pleaded not guilty to the initial round of charges Smith brought in the case last month. “There was no document,” Trump told Fox News last month. “That same day, TRUMP called DE OLIVEIRA and told DE OLIVEIRA that TRUMP would get DE OLIVEIRA an attorney,” the indictment says. It’s not yet clear how the new charges will affect the pace of the case against Trump and Nauta.

WASHINGTON, July 21 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump's trial over his alleged mishandling of classified documents will begin on May 20 next year, according to a U.S. court order on Friday. Trump's lawyers had resisted setting a date but said any trial should take place after the November 2024 U.S. presidential election, in which he is front-runner for the Republican nomination. A Trump spokesperson said the trial schedule "allows President Trump and his legal team to continue fighting" the criminal case. The case is one of several legal woes Trump faces as he campaigns for 2024. He said on Tuesday he had received a letter saying he is a target of a grand jury investigation into efforts to overturn his 2020 presidential election defeat.

Trump's classified documents trial is now set for May 20, 2024. The former president now has the opportunity to sew up the GOP presidential nomination before it begins. On Friday, Judge Aileen Cannon set the classified documents trial date for May 20, 2024. It's now increasingly likely that Trump's legal woes bleed into the general election calendar, provided Trump wins the nomination. Arguably, it's the classified documents case that could sting the most.

CNN —A federal judge ordered Friday that the trial in the classified documents case that special counsel Jack Smith brought against former President Donald Trump begin in May 2024. A Trump adviser told CNN that, given the trial date is currently set for the middle of primary season, they anticipate they’ll be able to delay the trial beyond the 2024 presidential election. “Today’s order by Judge Cannon is a major setback to the DOJ’s crusade to deny President Trump a fair legal process. The extensive schedule allows President Trump and his legal team to continue fighting this empty hoax,” Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung told CNN on Friday.

The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s trial on charges of illegally retaining classified documents set a trial date of May 20, 2024 — splitting the difference between the government’s request to begin in December and Trump’s desire to postpone until after the 2024 election. The decision, Judge Aileen Cannon’s first significant call in the proceedings, puts the high-stakes trial after the bulk of the Republican Party’s presidential primaries. Trump is currently the dominant front-runner, and his legal obligations to be in court will overlap with his campaign schedule. Cannon, who was appointed by Trump in 2020, was randomly assigned to the case from a pool of potential judges. Trump is also facing a flurry of other legal threats, including civil and criminal trials in New York set for early next year.

Former President Donald Trump's trial on charges of mishandling classified documents will begin on May 20, 2024, a federal judge ordered Friday. Trump last month pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal counts related to his retention of classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021 and subsequent alleged efforts to conceal them from the government. The DOJ's proposal to start the trial in December, meanwhile, "is atypically accelerated and inconsistent with ensuring a fair trial," she added. Cannon's schedule laid out dozens of procedural deadlines ahead of the spring 2024 trial. The government has until Sept. 7 to turn over relevant classified documents to the defense in discovery.

Trump's lawyers say his classified documents trial should be postponed until after the election. His lawyers argued it's hard for the former president to balance campaigning with all the indictments and lawsuits he's facing. If Judge Aileen Cannon — a Trump appointee — agrees, it could allow Trump to pardon himself in 2024 if he wins. They made the argument while appearing Tuesday before US District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, for a pretrial hearing. Trump is facing a slew of criminal indictments and civil lawsuits, which his defense lawyers said are clashing with his plans for the 2024 campaign trail.

July 18 (Reuters) - Donald Trump's lawyers are due in court in Florida on Tuesday for a hearing in which a federal judge will begin to consider how to hold a trial of the former U.S. president on charges of mishandling classified documents without publicly exposing top secret information. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland last year. Among the logistical issues Trump's lawyers and prosecutors are expected to discuss are deadlines for prosecutors to turn over classified documents that may be used as evidence and the timing for when Trump's lawyers must notify the government whether he intends to use classified documents to defend himself against the charges. The charges against Trump include violations of the Espionage Act, which criminalizes unauthorized possession of defense information. The defense has sought an indefinite delay, citing among other factors the rigors of Trump's campaign schedule.

In addition to the trial date, Trump and Nauta’s defense attorneys have already clashed with the Justice Department on timing of even initial procedural steps in the case. Tuesday’s hearing is aimed at discussing the schedule for those issues to be briefed and are usually “uneventful” affairs, Gonzalez said. “In sum, neither the amount of classified discovery in this case nor the timetable for its production is a reason for an indefinite continuance of the trial date,” the prosecutors said.
