Aileen Cannon has taken Donald Trump’s classified documents trial off the calendar.

Slate  

Keeping up with Donald Trump’s court schedule is a dizzying task, since he faces two federal trials, a criminal trial in Georgia, and two separate civil and criminal trials in New York. Last week, Donald Trump’s legal defense earned a major victory when a judge officially removed special counsel Jack Smith’s trial date for the classified documents case. Cannon cited the “myriad” pretrial motions that have yet to be resolved and reasoned that setting a trial date at this point “would be imprudent and inconsistent with the Court’s duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions before the Court.” Cannon said that, in total, there are eight “substantive pretrial motions” still pending, including one by Trump’s defense team to compel the special counsel to disclose hundreds of additional pages of classified and unclassified material. A Georgia Appeals Court Will Determine Fani Willis’ Fate The battle to remove Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from her election interference case turned a new corner last week: The Georgia Court of Appeals announced that it was granting an appeal to Trump’s attorneys, who are seeking to disqualify Willis from prosecuting the former president. During a press conference last week, he insisted that Trump hadn’t done anything wrong, saying, “You’re going to see Congress address this in every possible way.” Johnson also told Politico that he’s been working with House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan to investigate what else can be done about Smith, asserting that “there has to be some accountability” and noting, “Congress has the power of the purse, of course.”
