Judge Aileen Cannon agrees to partial pause in Trump’s classified documents trial

Published



Judge Aileen Cannon granted a temporary delay in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida to consider the ramifications of the Supreme Court’s sweeping immunity ruling earlier this week. 

The Trump appointee agreed to the former president’s legal team’s request Saturday afternoon, imposing a two-week delay for three pending deadlines in the case. Trump’s team made the request Friday, arguing that the Supreme Court’s immunity decision had to be considered and they should be allowed to argue the merits before the trial moves forward.
