U.S. Judge Aileen M. Cannon said there are too many pre-trial issues to address to set a new trial date now.

The judge had originally set the trial date for late May and heard arguments on March 1 about when the trial should be - with Trump’s lawyers pushing to start after the presidential election, in which he is the presumptive Republican nominee, or no earlier than August.But in her ruling, the judge said there are too many complicated legal rules and deadlines surrounding the use of classified evidence in public criminal trials that need to be considered before she finalizes a court date.
In her order Tuesday, Cannon set a number of new pre-trial deadlines that parties will have to meet. The latest deadline is a CIPA-related deadline for July 22 - which means the trial will not happen before then. His D.C. federal trial for allegedly trying to overturn Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory is on hold while the Supreme Court weighs his claim that he is immune from prosecutions for actions he took as president. There is no trial date set yet in Georgia, where Trump is charged with a broad conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election results in that state.
