Trump Requests Delay of Classified Documents Trial Until After 2024 Election

Donald Trump asked to delay his classified documents trial in Florida from May to after the 2024 election, saying prosecutors are slow to share evidence.

Trump's lawyers say the Florida case schedule conflicts with the schedule for his other federal case in D.C. related to the 2020 election.

Trump is charged in Florida with crimes related to retaining classified records after leaving the White House and trying to keep them from officials.

Trump's lawyers say the special counsel should change the "unprecedented and untenable" schedule to respect Trump's rights and judicial economy.

The spokesman for the special counsel declined to comment on Trump's request to delay the trial.
