It's possible a trial could begin by the end of the year. But there are many factors to consider. (via Deadline: Legal Blog)
for his first federal indictment, questions of timing dominate the case like no other as the 2024 election — which could put him back in the White House — inches closer.With the usual caveat that this is all unprecedented and no one really knows until it happens, the answer to that question could be fairly mundane: Getting the co-defendant, Waltine Nauta, arraigned.
So we may need to wait a beat to see how Judge Aileen Cannon begins to handle the case — and, as we saw on Tuesday,who erroneously ruled for her appointer during previous litigation in the matter plans on recusing. An early sign to watch for is what sort of schedule Cannon lays out for motions and, of course, any trial date that she sets. Trump’s state trial in New York on charges of falsifying business records is set for March 2024.
I’m sure that special counsel Jack Smith, who spoke few words in announcing the indictment but"speedy trial" was among them, would love to try this case before then. Indeed, on “Deadline: White House” on Tuesday, Brandon Van Grack, a national security lawyer and former Justice Department prosecutor on special counsel Robert Mueller’s team, said theI don’t doubt that they could — all things being equal. But they’re not equal.
It’s that classified evidence and related litigation that could set in motion an early phase of this case and give a clue to how it proceeds overall. That’s because we could see prosecutors attemptingwith Cannon on the subject.
