Watch a live view from exterior court as a US judge holds a hearing on the timing of Donald Trump’s documents trial.
Two key hearings are going down on Friday 1 March in the previous president’s prison circumstances, as Judge Aileen Cannon will contemplate a trial date for the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case and the disqualification hearing of Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis enters its last stage.
Mr Trump is attending the hearing in Florida federal court in the classified documents case, the place the decide might agree with the prosecution’s request for the trial to start in July or his request for August – or neither.
Nikki Haley, Mr Trump’s final remaining opponent for the Republican Party presidential nomination, says Americans have to know the result of his many authorized circumstances earlier than the 2024 election.
“We need to know what’s going to happen before it, before the presidency happens, because after that, should he become president, I don’t think any of it’s going to get heard,” she mentioned.
