There are signs that the start of the trial will be delayed in the criminal case against former US President Donald Trump. A hearing in court in the state of Florida is scheduled for Friday.

The trial was actually scheduled to begin on May 20, 2024, but the judge in charge had already indicated a possible change to the schedule months ago. Postponing the trial would be a success for Trump. The 77-year-old wants to run again for the Republicans in the presidential election at the beginning of November.
