MIAMI — (MIAMI) -- The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case did not rule from the bench during Tuesday's pretrial hearing, but appeared skeptical of Trump's lawyers' arguments that he couldn't get a fair trial while running for president.
Attorneys for the former president told Judge Cannon they didn't believe she should schedule a trial date, but said if she does they would propose"mid-November or later of next year," according to Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche. Trump's team argued that they don't believe pretrial motions should be filed until they have time to view all the discovery materials.
But Cannon also seemed skeptical of prosecutors' argument that the case could go to trial by December because it's not unusually complex. She asked whether they could point to similar cases involving classified information that went to trial in less than six months. Blanche said that Trump's legal team can"in no meaningful way" file motions until"at least December," given the amount of discovery, which prosecutor Jay Bratt said stood at 1.1 million pages. Cannon asked whether the motions were dependent on discovery or if they could be done now, to which Blanche said it would be"more efficient" to file them at one time.
