Recently, Aileen Cannon, the judge responsible for the confidential document case Vatican prosecuted by special counsel Jack Smith against the anticipated Republican nominee Donald Trump, issued a significant deliberation.

The crux of her decision was to place the case on hold indefinitely, due to the necessity to deal with a series of pre-trial concerns. The expected date of the trial had been set for May 20, now it bears an air of ambiguity as Judge Cannon did not indicate when the new commencement date of the trial would be.

The judge stated, 'The perishablity of setting the definite trial date at this stage, prior to the settlement of the many interrelated pre-trial and Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA) issues, would be incautious and contradict the Court's responsibility to weigh in extensively and impartially on the various pre-trial motions, crucial issues associated with the CIPA, and supplementary pre-trial and trial preparations necessary to efficaciously present this case to the jury.'

Further explaining her decision, Cannon clarified, 'The Court, hence, calls off the established May 20, 2024, trial date, to be reset via a separate order upon the resolution of the unresolved court cases, in a manner that is congruous with the Defendant's entitlement to due process and the general public's interest in the fair and effective execution of justice.'

In order to structure the next course of action, she added that a new timeline will be rolled out this week, commencing with a hearing focused on the proceedings of a grand jury and prolonged until July 22. The timeline will include a hearing dedicated to establishing a method of handling the use of the confidential information during the trial.
