Lisa Rubin (@lawofruby), MSNBC lelgal analyst:

In a paperless, just-issued order, Judge Aileen Cannon has notified Trump, Nauta, and the Special Counsel’s office to be prepared tomorrow to discuss something not on the official agenda for a normal CIPA hearing: the trial schedule. Specifically, they should be ready to discuss the government’s proposed trial schedule and related deadlines & any “particularized objections thereto” in light of the Speedy Trial Act, the Rules of Criminal Procedure, and the CIPA.

Edited to add: This reinforces my suspicion she will set a new scheduling order -- and likely with some sort of trial date -- at or soon after tomorrow’s hearing. Stay tuned.
