The federal judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal election interference case shut down a bid by the former president to set his trial more than two-and-a-half years away.
“This case is not going to trial in 2026,” Judge Tanya Chutkan said in a hearing Monday morning in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., NBC News reported.
But the judge also said that she would reject a proposal by federal prosecutors to bring the case to trial in less than five months.
The ridiculous notion is that such things are entertained for anyone by our courts, but often are for “important” (possessing capital means) people.
Sure you’re implicated in serious crimes, but the justice system will take your affluent schedule into consideration!
Watch a street dealer, aka a low income criminal ask to have their trial delayed by 3 years through a public defender and judge all but dictating they take a plea “deal” that only makes the court’s life easier.
We crow about being a “developed, first world, wealthy nation” but just like the utter ruins of our K-12 system and our collapsing infrastructure, our pay to play justice system makes us anything but.
