A federal judge on Monday is expected to set a start date for former U.S. President Donald Trump's criminal trial on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat in a failed bid to keep himself in power.
The criminal case brought in Washington, D.C., by Special Counsel Jack Smith is one of four that Trump, thefor the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, currently faces and the one that most broadly addresses his attempt to reverse his loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
"The public interest lies in justice and fair trial, not a rush to judgment," Trump's lawyers wrote in their motion. Prosecutors from U.S. Special Counsel Smith's office say such comparisons are "neither helpful nor insightful." Trump is already set to be on trial in New York on March 25, 2024, on separate state charges of concealing a hush money payment to a porn star, though Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has previously indicated he is willing to confer with other authorities to address scheduling conflicts.
