Controversial U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted a delay for Donald Trump's aide and co-defendant Walt Nauta in a classified documents case. Prosecutors have called the delay "unnecessary."
In a filing on Monday, Nauta's team asked to delay Friday's hearing, which was set to determine how some materials would be handled in the trial. The attorneys did not propose a date for the new hearing.
"An indefinite continuance is unnecessary, will inject additional delay in this case, and is contrary to the public interest," special counsel Jack Smith said in a subsequent filing on Monday.
On Tuesday, Cannon granted a 4-day delay, setting the new hearing for July 18 at 2:00 P.M. A court filing said Trump and Smith had agreed to the new date.
