Abstract

Former President Donald Trump's strategy of delaying his criminal cases through legal motions appears to be working in his favor. At a recent hearing, a federal judge entertained arguments from Trump's lawyers about dismissing charges related to his handling of classified documents. The judge did not immediately rule on the motions or provide a trial date, indicating that the case may be delayed further. Trump's legal team has filed additional motions to dismiss the case, potentially leading to more hearings and a slow-moving trial. Trump's efforts to delay his criminal cases are seen as an attempt to push court proceedings beyond the 2024 election. [Extracted from the article]
