Trump Faces Two Key Court Hearings on Monday
Two court hearings involving former President Donald Trump are scheduled for Monday. In Atlanta, a hearing will take place in the Georgia election case, where Trump and 18 defendants are accused of trying to overturn the state’s 2020 election results. The hearing will focus on a request by co-defendant Mark Meadows to move the case to federal court. In Washington, D.C., Trump’s attorneys and special counsel Jack Smith’s team will present arguments for when Trump’s federal election interference case should go to trial. They will discuss whether the trial should start before or after the next presidential election. The hearing in Atlanta could provide valuable insights for the bigger trial. Legal experts suggest that moving the case to federal court would remove an advantage for the prosecution. Trump has also been indicted in two other cases: one involving mishandling classified documents and another involving hush money payment to Stormy Daniels.
