Trump Announces Plan to Challenge Trial Date Provided in Federal Election Case
President Donald Trump announced that he plans to appeal the trial date of March 2024 in a criminal case against him. The case relates to his alleged attempts to overturn his 2020 election defeat. Trump did not provide further details on how or when he will appeal, but referred to the probe as politically motivated. The trial date was set by U.S. Judge Tanya Chutkan, and Trump’s legal team had requested a 2026 court date to avoid interference with the next presidential election cycle.
