The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case is “unlikely” to hold a trial before the November elections, meaning if Trump wins, the case could go away altogether, according to legal experts.

Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination, is currently facing four criminal indictments. Two of these indictments were initiated at the federal level by the Department of Justice (DOJ) and special counsel Jack Smith.

One federal case revolves around Trump’s purported mishandling of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida following his departure from the White House. The prosecutors have accused him of unlawfully retaining documents containing sensitive national security information, storing them improperly, and refusing to cooperate when asked to return them.

Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges, claiming that he had a right to retain the materials and possessed broad authority to declassify documents during his presidency.

Former federal prosecutor and legal analyst Renato Mariotti told CNN on Sunday that Cannon will likely continue ruling in Trump’s favor after his legal team has requested a trial start date sometime after the election in 2025, citing his campaign schedule, Newsweek reported.

“There are so many criminal trials that are upcoming, and as far as Mar-a-Lago goes, Judge Aileen Cannon has really shown a willingness to push this trial and to give as much latitude to Trump’s team as possible,” he said. “It is just really hard for me to see her putting his feet to the fire, particularly given the fact that the classified documents at issue add an element of complexity and give her opportunities to delay further. I just think that realistically, it is unlikely that she is going to force them to go to trial before the election.”

In an interview Sunday with Newsweek, Dave Aronberg, the state attorney in Florida’s Palm Beach County, agreed with Mariotti.

“I agree with Renato. This trial was never going to happen before the election,” Aronberg said. “Judge Cannon is new to the bench and has never had a classified document case like this before, which has built-in delays because of federal law. In addition, Judge Cannon has been very accommodating to Trump’s requests for more time. I’ve always felt that this is the strongest case against Trump but the least likely to be tried before the election.”
