Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday indefinitely postponed former President Trump's classified documents trial date in Florida.

Why it matters: The classified documents trial is now unlikely to end before the 2024 presidential election, where Trump is the presumptive GOP presidential nominee.

Trump has successfully pushed for delays in multiple criminal trials ahead of November's election.

Driving the news: Cannon wrote in the Tuesday filing that the trial start date, originally scheduled for May 20, is delayed so she can resolve pre-trial motions in the case.
