Former President Donald Trump’s attorney, Lindsey Halligan, criticized the trial date set for March 4 in Washington, D.C., calling it an attempt to secure “fast, bad, faulty, sloppy convictions” and interfere with elections. Halligan argued that Trump cannot receive a fair trial in D.C. and called for a change of venue. She also claimed that the trial’s quick timing hinders effective preparation and constitutes “ineffective assistance of counsel.” Halligan expressed confidence in Trump’s resilience and suggested that the airing of his trial in Georgia would expose prosecutorial misconduct. Additionally, she dismissed efforts to disqualify Trump from running for president using the 14th Amendment.
