So, to recap..Prosecutors ask for Jan. 2 2024--Trump's team wants April 2026?
Just not a chance--There is no way that this should drag out past election day..which is Trump's clear strategy.
The American people deserve closure on this issue. If he's innocent..let him be found innocent--and the whole thing put to bed.
If he's guilty, there's no way he should even be allowed to be President.
If he did win...after being found guilty...I imagine the term 'high crimes and misdemeanors' would be prominently mentioned in his impeachment.
Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a judge Thursday not to hold his federal trial on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 election until April 2026, nearly a year and a half after the 2024 race in which he is the Republican front-runner.
In requesting the long delay, Trump’s lawyers cited the large volume of evidence they will have to examine—as much as 11.5 million pages of materials and testimony from hundreds of witnesses—as well as the historic nature of the case. Trump is the first president in American history accused of blocking the peaceful transfer of power to his successor.
Trump on Thursday night said he was canceling a planned Monday news conference where he vowed to present evidence of election fraud, saying his lawyers preferred to argue the case in court. Trump’s initial idea—continuing a pattern of aggressive public pushback against the growing criminal charges—was seen by some inside his team as reckless, possibly hurting his defense.
