Earlier this month, a judge set a trial date for Trump over his alleged mishandling of classified documents.

US District Judge Aileen Cannon set a trial date of May 20 next year.

The date actually represents a compromise for both parties, with prosecutors initially wanting to schedule the trial for December this year.

Trumps team, on the other hand, is eager to postpone the trial until after the next presidential election, scheduled for November 2024.

The businessman is currently gearing up for another run at the White House. However, Trump could face a lengthy prison sentence if he is ultimately convicted.

Trump is accused of sharing details of a top-secret military attack plan during a meeting with a writer, publisher, and two staff members in July 2021.

The meeting was held at the Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey after Trump left the White House.

Trump is said to have said: As president I could declassify it Now I can’t, but it’s still a secret.
