Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked for Donald Trump's trial on charges relating to his alleged mishandling of classified documents to be delayed from August to December. The move could see the trial overlapping with Republican presidential primaries, which are due to begin in February 2024. Smith requested the trial begin on December 11 rather than August 14, as was announced by Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida last week, arguing more time is needed so Trump's legal team can receive interim security clearances, and to hold a pretrial hearing.
