when he left office in 2021 and tried to obstruct justice when the federal government sought to retrieve them.In a joint filing with Nauta on Monday, lawyers for both men asked Cannon to postpone their criminal trial.
"President Trump is running for president of the United States and is currently the likely Republican Party nominee. This undertaking requires a tremendous amount of time and energy, and that effort will continue until the election on November 5, 2024," they wrote. Cannon initially set the trial for Aug. 14 — a date that both sides oppose because they say they will need more time to prepare. Smith's team has sought to delay until Dec. 11.
Federal prosecutors and attorneys for Trump and Nauta are due to appear before Cannon in a Florida federal courthouse on Tuesday to discuss scheduling and other logistical issues.
