With Donald Trump’s New York trial heading to summations next week, a hearing in his classified documents prosecution is a reminder that the hush money case may be his only criminal one that gets tried before the election — and possibly ever. When it comes to the classified documents case, the delay is due in large part to how U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has handled it. In fact, the federal case in Florida had been set to start trial this week, before Cannon postponed it indefinitely.
But what’s being discussed Wednesday represents just a small fraction of the issues pending in the case against the former president and presumptive GOP nominee on allegations he hoarded sensitive government documents and obstructed efforts to retrieve them. Indeed, in a recent New York Times op-ed, a former CIA lawyer explained how Cannon “has made almost no progress over the past 11 months” since Trump was charged.
