A federal judge has set a trial date for former president Donald Trump in the classified US documents case in Florida.
It comes after he was charged with illegally retaining hundreds of secret papers.
The date has been set for 20 May, 2024.
It is being seen a compromise between a prosecutors’ request to schedule the trial for this December and a request from Trump’s lawyers to have it after the next presidential election in November 2024.
