In the legal case of USA vs Trump concerning the Mar-a-Lago documents, the government, represented by Jack Smith, requested to set a schedule for a jury questionnaire ahead of the trial set for May 20, 2024. Trump's attorneys have opposed the request, labeling it as a waste of court resources and indicating a desire to explore various unrelated issues. Despite their opposition, Judge Cannon has approved the request, setting a February 28 deadline for the parties to propose a jury questionnaire, which is one day before a Trump scheduling conference slated for March 1.
