Federal Judge sets March 4 date for historic Donald Trump trial
The HinduA federal judge on August 28 set a date of March 4, 2024, for Donald Trump’s election subversion conspiracy trial — placing one of the biggest criminal cases in American history at peak election season. The date is the day before “Super Tuesday,” when more than a dozen states vote in the Republican primary contest to pick the party’s candidate for the 2024 election — with Mr. Trump the firm favourite to secure the nomination. “He also knows the facts because he lived them.” Attack on US Capitol Mr. Trump is to go on trial in New York later in March on charges of paying election-eve hush money to a porn star, and in Florida in May for allegedly mishandling top secret government documents. “I’d have to think that a serious felony charge, maybe coupled with some prison time, would at least cause some people to rethink their support.” The 61-year-old Chutkan, who was appointed by former Democratic president Barack Obama, has handed down some of the stiffest sentences to participants in the attack on the US Capitol, and Trump has accused her of being “highly partisan” and “very biased.” Chutkan also has a legal history with Trump — she ruled against him in a November 2021 case, notably declaring that “presidents are not kings.”
