Former U.S. President Trump could face a speedy trial over his mishandling of confidential documents.

The U.S. Special Counsel has said that former President Donald Trump will face a “speedy trial” in Miami on a 37-count indictment alleging he obstructed justice and willfully retained classified government records

According to legal experts, handling highly classified evidence, Trump’s legal team’s challenges to government motions, and the way the judge handles the schedule may all result in a lengthy trial.

“In every case that I had involving classified information, we never had a speedy trial,” said Stephanie Siegmann, a former chief of the national security unit of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston, who noted that the evidence-sharing process with Trump’s defense team known as discovery could potentially take a year.

“This case will be designated complex because it involves classified information,” added Siegmann, now a partner with the law firm Hinkley Allen.

Criminal defendants in federal cases are entitled to a speedy trial under the U.S. Constitution, and a trial can begin as soon as 70 days after they are indicted.

A pause in the clock can, however, be agreed upon by both sides in most criminal cases to give them time to prepare for the trial.

Having the trial looming as the 2024 elections approaches could pose a problem for Trump, who is currently the Republican front-runner.

He may also use the tactic of lodging objections along the way in order to delay the process for legal or political reasons. #featured #trump
