Special Counsel Wants Classified Docs Trial Delayed Until December

Special Counsel Jack Smith has requested a delay in the classified documents trial involving former President Donald Trump, proposing a new trial start date of Dec. 11.
The request asks for the trial to be delayed by four months because there is classified information involved. To handle this information, Trump’s lawyers need to get security clearances, and that process takes time.
Interim security clearances are currently being processed and should be granted within 48 hours after Trump’s lawyers submit the required forms. However, obtaining the final clearance to access a few specific classified documents may take anywhere from 45 to 60 days.
