The federal judge overseeing former President Donald J. Trump’s classified documents case has set a potential trial date for mid-August in Fort Pierce, a time frame viewed by legal experts as too soon and unlikely to stand.

The order from U.S. District Aileen Cannon — who is based in Fort Pierce in St. Lucie County, which is at the northern end of the federal court system’s Southern District of Florida —  was posted in the case docket early Tuesday. The judge wrote that the case is now set “for a Criminal Jury Trial during the two-week period commencing August 14, 2023, or as soon thereafter as the case may be called.”

A scheduling conference is set for Aug. 8, and all hearings will be held at the Alto Lee Adams, Sr. United States Courthouse in Fort Pierce, according to the order. The order also requested that all pretrial motions be filed by the end of next month, on July 24.

Trump pleaded not guilty in Miami last week to all 37 counts in an indictment handed up by a grand jury over his handling of classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.
