The trial of former US President Donald Trump for his negligent handling of confidential documents after his departure from the White House will begin in May 2024, the judge in charge of the case announced on Friday July 20. The trial will begin in federal court in Florida on May 20, 2024, Judge Aileen Cannon said.
Documents classified as “secret-defense”
The former president is accused of having kept whole boxes of documents, including some classified “secret-defense”, after his departure from Washington in 2021 and of having refused to return them.
In the United States, a 1978 law obliges all American presidents to send all their letters, e-mails and other working documents to the National Archives. Another law, on espionage, prohibits anyone from keeping documents classified as confidential in unauthorized and unsecured places.
