Cannon's Decision On Trump Trial Date: U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision Friday represents a compromise between the government's plea to begin the trial in December and Trump's wish to delay the proceedings indefinity, or until after the 2024 election.
With Trump leading his GOP rivals by a hefty margin, the decision means a jury could be deciding whether to hand a guilty verdict to the Republican presidential nominee.
