    Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, citing significant issues around classified evidence that would need to be worked out before the federal criminal case goes to a jury.

    In an order Tuesday, Cannon cancelled the May trial date and did not set a new date.

    This is a developing story and will be updated.

      You know, it may be because it was a military court, but Chelsea Manning seemed like she got a reasonably speedy trial. Pre-trial hearing in April to sentencing in August? Plenty of classified documents in that one, too.

      It’s not like this is the first case in US history that’s had classified material involved. Ridiculous.
