- US The Prosecutor's Office informs Trump that he is likely to be charged for the third time
The trial of Donald Trump for withholding secret documents will begin in May next year. U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon ordered former President Donald Trump's jury trial to begin on May 20, 2024.
Prosecutors had asked for the trial to begin in December, while Trump's defense lawyers had requested to hold it after the November 2024 presidential election.
Trump, 77, is the frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination and the trial will take place at the height of the primaries to select the party's standard-bearer for the election.
Trump has already been charged with two alleged crimes: fraud of the financing of his campaign in the payment of $ 130,000 (123,000 euros) to the pornographic actress Stormy Daniels and for the retention of state secrets. The first case is from the State of New York, while the second is from the federal State, which implies a greater seriousness of the accusations. If indicted for the assault on Congress and the election, it would also be a federal case.
