Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) is the 45th and current president of the United States. Before entering politics, he was a businessman and television personality. Trump was born and raised in the New York City borough of Queens, and received a bachelor's degree in economics from the Wharton School. He took charge of his family's real-estate business in 1971, renamed it The Trump Organization, and expanded its operations from Queens and Brooklyn into Manhattan.
The company built or renovated skyscrapers, hotels, casinos, and golf courses. Trump later started various side ventures, mostly by licensing his name. He owned the Miss Universe and Miss USA beauty pageants from 1996 to 2015, and produced and hosted The Apprentice, a reality television show, from 2003 to 2015. Forbes estimates his net worth to be $3.1 billion.
The trial over Donald Trump’s withholding of classified documents is now scheduled to begin on May 20, 2024, meaning that the criminal case may play out in the midst of the presidential campaign.
US. District Judge Aileen Cannon set the schedule for the proceedings in a court order on Friday, rejecting federal prosecutors’ request that the trial start in December, and Trump’s team call for delaying it until after the election.
Trump was indicated in June on 37 counts relating to his retention and withholding of classified documents after he left the White House.
Special Counsel Jack Smith also claims that Trump lied about the top-secret material and attempted to obstruct FBI and grand jury investigations.
