On August 14, the trial of former US President Donald Trump will begin for his handling of classified government documents. This is according to an order published Tuesday by the responsible judge Aileen Cannon. However, observers assume that the start of the process in the legally very complex case can be postponed.
The 77-year-old, who is running for the Republican nomination in the 2024 presidential election, has been charged with unlawful retention of highly sensitive information and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Trump appeared in court for the first time last Tuesday, where the charges were officially opened to him. He pleaded “not guilty”.
The federal police FBI searched Trump’s private residence Mar-a-Lago in Florida in August and seized numerous classified documents from his tenure, some of them at the highest level of classification. (sda/dpa)
