Former President Trump will now stand trial in May of next year on charges he mishandled classified material, according to a court filing Friday.
Judge Aileen Cannon scheduled the trial for May 20, a compromise date later than prosecutors had sought but sooner than the indefinite delay requested by Trump.
Trump classified documents trial in Florida to begin in May 2024
Former President Donald Trump's criminal trial on charges of withholding and concealing classified and top-secret documents will begin in Florida on May 20, 2024.
That schedule puts the trial at the tail end of the Republican presidential primary process. Trump is currently the front-runner for the GOP nomination and already may have become the nominee by that time.
In an order issued in Ft. Pierce, Fla., U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon says the evidence in the case is "extremely voluminous and will require substantial time to review" and includes classified and top secret documents that require special handling procedures. She also says the case meets the legal definition of a "complex" case, requiring a more extended trial schedule.

What a ridiculous lie! Joe Biden is above the law. Hunter Biden is above the law. And on and on.
Trump is *below* the law, facing continual prosecution/persecution on bogus charges. This case has no merit, and in the end he will be glad to have the trial next spring because he will be acquitted of any charges that are not dismissed before then.

That's right!
Trump welcomes this kind of investigation, because people have got to know whether or not their president is a crook.
