Future Trials in Doubt as Trump Documents Case Faces Delay

Experts suggest that the federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents case may have indicated a delay in reaching a verdict before the November election.

According to national security attorney Brad Moss, it is likely that the Manhattan case will be the only one to go to trial before the election, with cases in Georgia and Mar-a-Lago being delayed. The D.C. election fraud case outcome depends on the ruling of SCOTUS, and it may or may not conclude before the fall campaign.

Former CIA attorney Brian Greer also believes that the delay makes a conviction before the election “almost impossible.”

Trump is facing 91 felony counts across two state courts and two federal courts, including a trial in New York related to hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and the classified documents case brought by Jack Smith from the U.S. Justice Department.

The classified documents case has been delayed multiple times, with the trial set for July proposed by Smith, but Judge Cannon announced an indefinite postponement until preliminary issues, including those related to the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), are resolved.
