A federal judge on Tuesday said former President Donald Trump’s trial on charges of unlawfully keeping government documents should begin on Aug. 14 in Fort Pierce, Florida.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, set the date in a formal order that also directs attorneys to file pre-trial motions by July 24.
It is unclear if the historic case will make it to trial by the August date, given the number of pre-trial motions and decisions that will have to be resolved as Mr. Trump becomes the first U.S. president to grapple with federal charges.
The order says the trial will commence on Aug.
