Trump Classified Documents Trial In FL 'Indefinitely Postponed' Over Evidence: Reports

FLORIDA — Former President Donald Trump will not go to trial this month in Florida over allegations he brought classified documents to his Mar-a-Lago estate, per media reports.

The pending trial against Trump is "indefinitely postponed" after a federal judge voiced concern on certain issues involving evidence that she said need to be settled before a date can be scheduled, per CNN and BBC.

Trump was originally scheduled to go to trial on May 20. However, the BBC reported there is no probability that the former president will head to trial ahead of the Nov. 5 general election.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon could take until at least July to settle some disputes before a jury trial, CNN reported.

Trump is facing 40 felony counts in the Florida case, the Associated Press reported.

"(He) is accused of intentionally holding onto some of the nation's most sensitive documents at Mar-a-Lago — only returning a fraction of them upon demand by the National Archives. Prosecutors say he urged his lawyer to hide records and to lie to the FBI by saying he no longer was in possession of them and enlisted staff to delete surveillance footage that would show boxes of documents being moved around the property," the Associated Press reported.

Defense attorneys have argued in the past the classified documents were protected under the Presidential Records Act, which permits former presidents to keep any notes or papers established for personal use, the outlet reported.

Cannon’s order Tuesday sets aside three days in late June to consider the use of classified material in a public trial, The Washington Post reported.

Trump is currently on trial in Manhattan, accused of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. His lead attorney in the New York case, Todd Blanche, is also his lead lawyer in Florida, and the Trump legal team has told Cannon they cannot prepare for the classified documents case, the Post said.

If Cannon cannot delay the classified documents case until after November, she should schedule it for August, Trump's lawyers have said.

If Trump wins another term as president, he can delay or kill the criminal case against him.
