A federal judge in Florida declined for now to postpone former President Donald Trump's classified documents trial but did push back several pre-trial deadlines in the case. ADVERTISEMENTThe case includes dozens of felony charges accusing the Republican former president of illegally retaining classified documents at his Palm Beach estate, Mar-a-Lago, and hiding them from government investigators. Trump's lawyers had complained about the burden of scouring more than 1 million pages of evidence that prosecutors have produced. Prosecutors had resisted any effort to delay, saying they'd already taken steps to make the evidence easier for the defense to review. In addition, Trump has been sued in a business fraud case in New York, where a trial is taking place.
