The legal team for former President Donald Trump requested on July 10 an indefinite postponement of his criminal trial concerning the alleged mishandling of classified documents. At The Messenger, CERL Advisory Council member Geoffrey Corn discusses the question of whether a delay will be granted and if Trump’s motivations as a presidential candidate should be considered. 

Geoffrey S. Corn is the Gary A. Kuiper Distinguished Professor of National Security Law at South Texas College of Law Houston and a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel. He is also a member of the CERL Advisory Council.
