Trial Date Set in the Jack Smith Case Against Trump
29th August 2023
And – surprise, surprise – the scheduled date “could have a crucial impact on the 2024 race for the White House.”
Fancy that. What an odd coincidence:
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s decision sets the trial in the middle of the Republican presidential primaries and the day before Super Tuesday.
The prosecution had wanted the trial to start in January, and Trump’s lawyers said after the election in April 2026. So Judge Chutkan set the date two months later than the prosecution wanted and right smack in the middle of the primaries. Not to mention the fact that Trump is fighting four potential and actual cases, at the very least. The DOJ has unlimited resources paid for by our taxpayer dollars; Trump has to get lawyers and prepare for the cases on his own or with donations from supporters. And of course, his lawyers now know they are subject to prosecution as well.
