The federal judge presiding over Donald Trump's classified documents criminal case has denied the former president's motion to postpone his May 2024 trial date.

In an order issued Friday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed Trump's request to push back the trial, which is currently scheduled to begin May 20, 2024.

In her nine-page order, Cannon said she was dismissing the motion "without prejudice" against reconsidering it later, and that the trial's start date could be "considered at a scheduling conference on March 1, 2024."

Cannon's order follows a Nov. 1 hearing in which Trump's attorneys argued the trial date should be moved beyond the November 2024 election, and the jurist signaled she was open to changing the trial schedule.

While Cannon declined to change the trial date in Friday's order, she partially granted Trump's requested adjustments to key pre-trial deadlines. The jurist nodded to arguments made by Trump's legal team about the large volume of evidence in the case, and the former president's busy trial schedule.
