The federal judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal election interference case shut down a bid by the former president to set his trial more than two-and-a-half years away.
“This case is not going to trial in 2026,” Judge Tanya Chutkan said in a hearing Monday morning in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., NBC News reported.
But the judge also said that she would reject a proposal by federal prosecutors to bring the case to trial in less than five months.
This particular trial is for the federal charges in DC.
Oh, my fault. You’re right. This is my mistake for getting confused about multiple trials.
Pretty crazy that it’s hard to keep a former president’s federal crimes trials straight. And the guy is still leading by far in the Republican primaries. Less than ten years ago, Howard Dean’s campaign basically ended because people thought his enthusiastic yell was weird. Now we have a mess of people saying they’d still vote for Trump even if he’s found guilty. It blows my mind.
I remember when Dan Quayle misspelled potato.

Yeah. Right there with ya. It’s genuinely horrifying (to sane people) what a few decades of mind rotting propaganda from right wing media can accomplish.
Creating Fox News was definitely one of the most successful strategies ever concocted. Too bad for the country that the goals were so awful.
