Bad news this week. According to the Associated Press, Trump's trial in Florida has been delayed indefinitely. On Tuesday, judge Aileen Cannon canceled the May 20th trial date and announced it would be "imprudent" to set a new trial date right now. Yikes.

The trial is over Trump's mishandling of classified documents. According to prosecutors, Trump illegally held onto over 300 classified documents since leaving office and refused to return some of the documents. He may have even allgedly shown some of the classified documents to visitors at Mar-a-Lago.

Now the case is delayed indefinitely. It's looking more and more likely that Trump's lawsuits won't be decided until after the election. Trump's Supreme Court case is still in the works. His Georgia trial is still on-going, as is his trial in Washington D.C.
