Indefinite Postponement of Donald Trump’s Federal Trial in Florida
A federal judge in Florida has indefinitely delayed the trial of former President Donald Trump over allegations of mishandling classified documents during his time in office.
US District Judge Aileen Cannon cited unresolved issues with trial evidence as the reason for postponing the trial date previously set for May 20, 2024.
The trial is now unlikely to commence before the US election on November 5.
Legal Battle and Allegations
Trump’s legal team has suggested holding the trial after the election, while prosecutors have pushed for an earlier date.
Delays in setting a trial date have been attributed to ongoing deliberations on pre-trial matters.
The charges against Trump include keeping classified documents post-presidency and obstructing efforts to retrieve them, including tampering with security footage at his Mar-a-Lago estate.
Trump and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Legal Wrangling and Speculation
Legal disputes over admissible evidence have led to multiple delays in the trial proceedings.
Some legal experts speculate that Judge Cannon, who has often ruled in favor of Trump, may be intentionally prolonging the case.
Additional hearings are scheduled to address pending concerns, with no new trial date set yet.
Expert Opinion and Ongoing Cases
Legal expert Carl Tobias criticized Judge Cannon for not curbing what he called “delay tactics” by Trump’s legal team.
Trump, facing multiple charges in various criminal cases, is currently on trial in New York and awaits a Supreme Court ruling on claims of presidential immunity.

Where did you hide Muhammad Al-Maliki? -Yamnat News website

Ahmed Saif Hashid
The fate of the expert Muhammad al-Mulaiki, who exposed the corruption of the Standards and Metrology Authority through a report submitted to the Anti-Corruption Authority, is still unknown. He attended one of the sessions of the parliamentary committee investigating the facts regarding complaints submitted to the member of the Political Council, Sheikh Sultan al-Sami, regarding corruption attributed to the Minister of Trade and Industry.
Engineer Muhammad Al-Maliki had been summoned to the criminal investigation in the capital secretariat, while he was following up on his report on corruption at the Anti-Corruption Commission, and he came to the investigation on his own after being summoned by phone from the criminal investigation on the same day that he was following up on his report on corruption, which had been nearly the same day. The year without the authority daring to decide on it.
The Criminal Investigation Department declined to tell us the reason for the summons, but we were surprised on the second day that he was not on the prisoner lists. We were told in the Criminal Investigation Department that his subject was with Ali Ibn Hussein Al-Houthi, without us knowing a reason or explanation for the reason for his detention and absence.
We want a state, but we only find irresponsible authorities, and most of what they exercise has nothing to do with a constitution, law, or system.
What is happening is the absence of those who fall into their grip to an unknown extent, in a manner that includes tyranny and disregard for the plight of the victims’ families after arrest, and the perpetuation of policies of domination, oppression, and oppressiveness far from any constitution or law.
