The latest now in the Trump trials,
the former president expected in a Florida court today for
a hearing in the classified documents case.
Senior investigative correspondent Eric Terry is on the scene in
Fort Pierce.
Good morning, Aaron.
And good morning to you,
George. This hearing will determine when Trump actually stands trial
on the charges of mishandling classified documents.
It was originally scheduled for May,
but it's almost certain today to be pushed.
Special Counsel Jack Smith is suggesting July.
That would conflict with the Republican National Convention.
So Trump side says August.
But really, Trump is hoping this never goes to trial
at all after the US Supreme Court agreed to decide
whether he's immune from prosecution for actions taken while in
office, as he has in the election interference case in
Washington.
Trump has argued he cannot be prosecuted here in Florida
on charges of hoarding classified documents and obstructing the government's
attempt to get them back.
His lawyers have said Trump decided to move the records
from the White House to his Palm Beach estate while
he was in office,
and so it constituted an official act.
With the two federal trials,
though now unclear, and the Georgia case in limbo over
the district attorney's romance with a prosecutor,
it's possible Guys Trump faces only one trial before the
November election.
The case in New York where he's charged over a
hush payment to a porn star,
guys. OK, Eric, thanks very much.
