FILE - Former President Donald Trump.
  • Trump's jurors in his classified docs trial will come from a very red swatch of South Florida.
  • The case's judge announced on Friday that the trial will start in May 2024 in Fort Pierce, Florida.
  •  
  • It's good news for the former president, who may soon face a third criminal indictment.

Former President Donald Trump hit the jackpot with his upcoming criminal trial over his handling of classified government documents.

US District Judge Aileen Cannon, who Trump nominated, signed an order Friday announcing that the former commander-in-chief will be on trial beginning May 24, 2024, in Fort Pierce. That's good news for Trump because Fort Pierce, in St. Lucie County, is in an overwhelmingly red area of South Florida.
