Prosecutors say he illegally kept secret documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after he left office and obstructed government efforts to retrieve them.
The former president has maintained his innocence, lambasting the case as an attempt to destroy his election campaign.
On Friday, Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, said the two-week trial would take place in Fort Pierce , Florida.
For prosecutors to secure a conviction in the Mar-a-Lago case, The Jury 's decision must be unanimous.
Jurors will be selected from around the Fort Pierce division, which includes several counties that Mr Trump won in 2020.
The former president pleaded Not Guilty to 37 federal counts during an arraignment in Miami last month.
Lawyers for both sides argued in the Fort Pierce court earlier This Week over when the case should be held.
Prosecutors said The Evidence was not complicated and there was no need to delay The Trial . They wanted it to begin in December.

Mr Trump announced This Week that he expected to be arrested soon in connection with a federal inquiry into the US Capitol riot two years ago and his efforts to challenge the 2020 election results.
State prosecutors in Atlanta, Georgia, are also investigating whether the former president broke The Law with his attempts to overturn the poll results in that state three years ago.
Department of Justice-appointed special counsel Jack Smith is leading twin investigations into The Capitol riot and the Mar-a-Lago files.
In an indictment last month, his prosecutors alleged that when Mr Trump left office, he took about 300 classified documents to his oceanfront home in Palm Beach .
They say he stored the sensitive documents in several spaces, including a ballroom and a bathroom.
According to prosecutors, Mr Trump also told a personal aide, Walt Nauta, to move boxes containing classified files from a storage room at the resort before federal investigators came to look for them.
Mr Nauta is also charged in the case and has pleaded Not Guilty .
