The federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s federal election interference case has ordered the trial to begin on March 4, 2024.
The ruling came after Trump’s attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith’s team clashed in court Monday over when the case should go to trial.
Smith said in a filing earlier this month that he was prepared to take Trump to trial by Jan. 2, on the grounds that the date would “vindicate the public’s strong interest” in a speedy trial.
Trump’s lawyers, in contrast, requested that Judge Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing the case, schedule the trial for April of 2026 – more than two and a half years from now – due in part to the extended period of time they said they would need to review the large amount of discovery evidence the government has provided in the case.
The thing that cracks me up is that you have these Republican candidates running against Trump, and they are all too scared to actually attack him on the fact that he’s going to prison for trying to rig the election.
In the history of the world, has there ever been an easier line of attack handed to a political opponent? But they are all cowards.
Cowards? Or secretly want to follow in his footsteps, hoping they will succeed where Donald failed. And why shouldn’t they? America is clearly crumbling from within, ripe for the taking - if you can take it. They’re not scared, they’re evil and calculating and hungry for power. It’s a sickening corporate sponsered puppet show.
Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.
I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.
That’s right in the middle of the primaries, right? That should make things interesting.
