Judge sets Trump classified documents trial for May 2024, months before election

[BumRushDaShow]

110. 45's lawyers have argued plenty of nonsense to that D.C. court

and have been smacked down every time - including something as serious as the "crime-fraud exception" and "Executive Privilege".

So they would argue to "delay" regardless - even giving the excuse of the state-related trials in NYC and GA. But the chances of "waiting" for the classified docs to be done is probably a non-starter if it can be scheduled and completed fairly quickly.

As it is, we have no idea what the schedule timing will be for this J6 trial given there are dozens of other J6-related charged individuals going through the motions right now (including those choosing to plead guilty and move on without a trial and others doing bench trials, etc). So that D.C. District court has it down pat (the only main difference being a former President is being thrown into the mix).

There has been speculation that the J6 thing might be broken up into separate actions, with certain individuals/groups being charged and tried separately, as well as keeping the option open for superseding indictments at some later date.
