Trump jury trial in Mar-a-Lago docs case slated to start in August

It appears that special counsel Jack Smith may get his wish to give former President Donald Trump a speedy trial.

Law and Crime News' Adam Klasfeld reports that the jury trial in the Trump Mar-a-Lago documents case is set to begin on August 14th, 2023 under Judge Aileen Cannon.

Lawyers for both the prosecution and defense must also file their motions aimed at potentially excluding certain evidence by July 24th.

Trump was indicted earlier this month on 37 felony counts related to willful retention of national defense information and obstruction of justice.

Trump currently faces a slew of legal problems, including a civil lawsuit over allegedly fraudulent business practices from New York Attorney General Letitia James; criminal charges related to his hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels; criminal charges related to his decision to stash top-secret government documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort; and two different investigations into his efforts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
