The former US President will face charges in a federal court in Washington beginning March 4, 2024 over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election result. He announced that he would appeal and denounced “election interference”.
The date of Donald Trump’s trial is known and should not please him. The former US President will face charges in a federal court in Washington beginning March 4, 2024 for his attempts to overturn the 2020 election result in relation to the nomination of candidates for the next presidential election.
Donald Trump responded a few hours later and described the date of his trial in March 2024 as “election interference”. In a post on his network Truth Social, the former president and Republican primary candidate accused the judge of “hating Trump” and said he would appeal.
The fate of the preferred Republican primary candidate depended on the decision of federal judge Tanya Chutkan. The latter had to agree this Monday, August 28, in a hearing between the proposal made by the special prosecutor Jack Smith, who wanted the trial of Donald Trump to begin in Washington on January 2, 2024, a deadline that they considered too short, and the Deciding Proposal The defense called for the far-off April 2026 deadline, saying it was “far in excess of what is necessary.”
Judge Chutkan’s decision could have a serious impact on the election fate of Donald Trump, who now faces four criminal charges. The 70-year-old faces allegations in New York of making suspicious payments to a former porn actress, negligently handling confidential documents after he left the White House – a case being tried in Florida – and voting pressure in Georgia during the 2020 election.
It’s this latest case in this southeastern state that earned him his mugshot last week, an already historic cliché.
