This is the best summary I could come up with:
One way to hamper Chutkan is to convince the judge in Florida, Aileen Cannon, to moveĀ TrumpāsĀ Mar-a-Lago document mishandling trialĀ from late May untilĀ theĀ summer.
But aĀ gradually shifting calendar couldĀ be just as effective atĀ shieldingĀ Trump from other trials through the summer, multiple sources familiar with the former presidentās legal strategy told CNN.
And the prosecutors and defense teams are engaged in protracted court fights over access to evidence ā classified records and information from far corners of the federal government ā that Cannon still has to resolve.
She drew bipartisan criticism in the legal world for how she handled an earlier part of the case and has moved slowly to resolve the pretrial issues.
When July nears, Trumpās team or the special counselās office could ask Cannon again to move the Mar-a-Lago trial back, and she may consider it because of the complexities in the case.
New YorkĀ state Supreme CourtĀ Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing TrumpāsĀ hush money criminalĀ case, disclosed publicly he had been in touch with Chutkan as recently as this month.
