, per a new scheduling order posted to her court docket Tuesday morning.
The procedural order sets forth various filing deadlines for the Justice Department and Trump's lawyers leading up to the trial, which Cannon has ruled will take place at the Fort Pierce, Florida, courthouse -- not in Miami where Trump's initial appearance and arraignment took place. The Aug. 14 start is not set in stone, however, and is likely to shift based on negotiations between Trump's team, the Justice Department and Cannon as they navigate what is likely to be a very complex and contentious discovery process.All pretrial motions must be filed by July 24, according to the order.
The order sets aside two weeks for the trial despite prosecutors previously signaling they would need three weeks to put on their evidence. Former President Donald Trump speaks to supporters at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, June 13, 2023, in Bedminster, N.J.
