Judge Grants Trump Delay in Documents Case

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon has granted former President Donald Trump's request to delay several deadlines in his classified documents case, citing the recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. The ruling, which grants presidents immunity for official acts, has prompted Trump's legal team to seek further briefings to argue for case dismissal. Special counsel Jack Smith now has until July 18 to respond, with Trump's team replying by July 21. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges, and no trial date has been set. Cannon's decision temporarily pauses proceedings to consider the immunity argument, reflecting ongoing legal complexities and strategic delays.
