Donald Trump is on trial in New York for civil fraud and his federal election interference trial in Washington is set for March. So on top of everything else, it’s understandable if his other federal criminal case, over classified documents and alleged obstruction, isn’t top of mind these days. But it’s worth noting how that Florida case, overseen by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, keeps getting pushed back. Recall that Cannon previously set a trial date for May.

The latest example of that came Thursday, during a hearing sparked by special counsel Jack Smith’s concern that lawyers for Trump’s co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, could be conflicted because they’ve also represented possible government witnesses. But Cannon postponed the hearing for Nauta after accusing the prosecution of raising a new argument on the matter in court for the first time.
