- Donald Trump, a former president, entered a not guilty plea to numerous felony counts connected to keeping secret papers and defying orders from the government.
- The criminal prosecution for keeping secret papers until December has been postponed at the request of the Justice Department. Trump will go on trial for the first time on August 14 on 37 criminal counts.
- Due to the use of sensitive information and security clearances, the prosecution has asked for the trial to be rescheduled for December 11, 2023.
- The Trump legal team has received material from the Justice Department, but more time for analysis and judgment by the defense lawyers is appropriate.
- The judge will eventually decide when to hold the trial. Trump’s attorneys have made no objections to the delay.
