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 trial is now scheduled to start on March 4, so the defense has about six months to prepare.

While you have your calendar open, the New York hush money trial is set for March 25 and the federal stolen documents trial is set for May 20. The Georgia election interference trial date is not yet set.

Next year is going to be epic.
I see it as episode 10 of what will be the eventual mini-series.

As much as I'm looking forward to it we need a unanimous jury to convict him and those seems like very slim odds. It might all come down to the voters. If Trump is re-elected he may face zero consequences.

Can't wait for season 10 to drop.

But seriously, March is going to be epic indeed if the trial dates remain unchanged. May have to resub to some of the news outlets I dropped this year so I can get multiple news sources for each fascinating development.
