NEW YORK — A federal judge has dealt a blow to former President Donald Trump's push to indefinitely delay his classified documents trial.

The former president will now stand trial in May of next year on charges that he mishandled classified material, according to a court filing Friday.

"There is no basis in law or fact for proceeding in such an indeterminate and open-ended fashion, and the Defendants provide none," prosecutor David Harbach wrote in his filing. "[E]ven accepting the Government's contested submission that nothing in this case presents a 'novel question of fact or law,' the fact remains that the Court will be faced with extensive pre-trial motion practice on a diverse number of legal and factual issues, all in connection with a 38-count indictment," the judge added.
