The trial is set to start in May 2024, right in the middle of the Republican presidential primary calendar. The judge said she will consider the issue again at a conference set to take place on March 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst, and most significantly, the quantity of discovery in this case remains exceedingly voluminous, even more so than initially thought,\u201d Cannon wrote in her order. \u201cTo be sure, the Special Counsel has taken various steps to produce discovery on a regular basis. But even with these efforts, discovery has increased sizably from initial estimates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The case involves about 1.3 million pages of unclassified discovery, 60 terabytes of closed-circuit television footage, and 5,500 pages of classified discovery.<\/p>\n<p>Cannon also cited other issues, including the complexity of the case, significant disagreements between defense attorneys and prosecutors, and Trump\u2019s other pending trials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Court cannot ignore the realities of pretrial and trial schedules in two other criminal matters,\u201d she noted, citing the federal case in Washington D.C., where Trump stands accused of trying to interfere with the transfer of power after the 2020 election and the New York hush-money case.<\/p>\n<p>Brett Rowland<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecentersquare.com\/national\/article_e8b4296a-7ff0-11ee-9dd1-b771784c76c6.html?a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Go to Source<\/a><br \/>\nReposted with permission<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared at https:\/\/www.wisconsinrightnow.com\/classified-documents-trial\/ \u00a0 A federal judge on Friday denied former President&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":1370,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7011","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wi-right-now"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7011","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7011"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7011\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7013,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7011\/revisions\/7013"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1370"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7011"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7011"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wifamily.news\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7011"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
