BREAKING: Trump Election Interference Trial Set For March 4

By Frances Langum — August 28, 2023

It feels so good to tag a post "Trump Trials."

The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s election interference case in federal court set a trial date for March 4, 2024, a schedule that could have a crucial impact on the 2024 race for the White House.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan's decision sets the trial in the middle of the Republican presidential primaries and the day before Super Tuesday.

Trump attorney John Lauro did NOT have a good day in court.

Judge: "Delay is not an uncommon defense tactic" in federal criminal justice system

!!! Judge Chutkan to defense: "You're not going to get two more years. This case is not going to trial in 2026"

Judge: "I've seen many cases delayed because the defendant lacks adequate representation. That is not the case here"

TRIAL is MARCH 4, 2024

In the Georgia case (can we get a spreadsheet?) Trump and his multiple cohorts will be arraigned NEXT WEEK.

ARRAIGNMENT: Donald Trump's arraignment in Fulton County, GA has been set for 9:30am on Sept. 6, per the court docket there.

The other 18 defendants also appear to be slated for arraignment that day in 15 minute increments.

And oh lookie who else wants a speedy trial:

So now Sidney Powell ALSO demands a speedy trial, as did Kenneth Chesebro. Looks like the Cheese WON’T stand alone. Now . . . it’s Cheese and Kraken. pic.twitter.com/wZNf3oc1Ub
