United States District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered the date to be set for August 14th, she also ordered the Department of Justice prosecutors and Trumps lawyers to file all pre-trial motions by July 24th. She has also directed the lawyers that are involved in the case to fill out the federal government document which grants them the proper security clearance in order for them view the documents that are involved with the case. The new trial date has put the case on a speedy track for both sides with Judge Cannon saying that the proceeds in the case will take place in Fort Pierce, Florida.
