Among various legal cases during his presidential campaign, Trump faces accusations of mishandling classified documents.
Donald Trump's litigation and political calendar face increased complexity as a federal judge sets the trial for the classified documents case to commence on May 20.
The trial's potential delay hinges on unresolved disputes, including evidence admissibility. Trump's legal team plans to present novel arguments previously unaddressed by judges.
The nomination process is expected to conclude by May 20, but some states have primaries scheduled after that date, potentially overlapping with a two-month trial and the GOP convention in mid-July.
Trump raises campaign funds and energizes supporters by framing his criminal cases as politically motivated attempts to hinder his opposition to President Joe Biden.
Despite facing legal cases, Trump maintains a lead in Republican nomination polls.
