Judge Aileen Cannon grants Jack Smith's request for a pre-trial hearing in Trump documents case

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday set a pre-trial hearing date for former President Donald Trump's classified documents case.

In a two-page order, Cannon granted special counsel Jack Smith's request for a pre-trial hearing. She scheduled the hearing for July 14.

Defendants will not have to attend the hearing, which was requested based on the Classified Information Procedures Act.

Earlier on Monday, Cannon ruled that special counsel Jack Smith could not file the names of potential witnesses under seal. News organizations had argued for the release of witnesses' names.
