A federal judge in Florida has set a trial date of May 20, 2024 for former President Donald Trump in a case alleging he illegally retained hundreds of classified documents. The trial is related to a Justice Department case accusing Trump of mishandling sensitive government documents, and is the first time a former president has been charged with a crime. Trump has denied any wrongdoing and his lawyers have argued that the documents were not classified and that he did not mishandle them. The trial is expected to be closely watched by the public, with major implications for the former president.
