(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) It was revealed that the corrupt prosecutors wanted to start one of the Donald Trump trials five days before the 2024 election as an attempt to prevent him from becoming the President again, but the effort was stopped by the judge.
The judge in the classified documents case against Donald Trump ended a key scheduling hearing on March 1, 2024, without setting a new trial date and, therefore, leaving it unclear if Trump will stand trial for the case this year.
Before the court was adjourned after about four hours, Judge Aileen Cannon heard differing arguments over when the trial should be held by prosecutors working in special counsel Jack Smith’s office and Trump’s lawyers, according to NBC News.
Initially, Cannon scheduled the trial to begin May 20, 2024, but it has been widely expected that she would push it back.
Justice Department prosecutors proposed a July 8, 2024, start date. Trump’s defense team, who initially proposed an Aug. 12, 2024, start date, however, said that it would be “unfair” to hold the trial before the presidential election that will happen in November.
Trump’s lawyers argued a pre-election trial would be logistically difficult because of the other legal cases against him that he faces, adding that the government’s proposed July start date is “completely unworkable” and “an impossibility for the defendant.”
Trump’s lawyers also said that they have to focus on the upcoming trial that’s set to begin March 25, 2024, in New York and is expected to last about six weeks.
His defense team said that the trials should wait until after the Supreme Court rules on his claims of presidential immunity because their ruling could affect how the case proceeds, the news source added.
The trial should be delayed until after a hearing on evidence, which the special counsel’s office disagreed with, the defense lawyers also said.
In addition to that, Julie Kelly of Real Clear Investigations reported on Twitter that the establishment has been tirelessly — as early as 2021 — to “concoct a documents charge against Trump.”
“Contrary to public assertions and Jack Smith’s indictment, it appears NARA and DOJ and even the Biden White House general counsel were in cahoots as early as spring 2021 to concoct a documents charge against Trump,” she wrote.
Much of the debate centered around the definition of the scope of the prosecution team.
In January, Trump filed a lengthy motion detailing numerous government agencies including the Biden White House involved in the investigation and prosecution of the classified docs case.…

Kelly added that the efforts continued in 2022 as well.
“DOJ says FBI opened an investigation into the mishandling of classified docs in March 2022 after NARA sent a criminal referral following the alleged discovery of files with ‘classified markings’ in the 15 boxes Team Trump gave to NARA in Jan 2022,” she wrote.
