A federal judge has set a March 4 trial date for former President Donald Trump’s election interference case in Washington, D.C.
Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith proposed starting the trial in January, with the jury selection beginning in December. He estimated the trial would take four to six weeks.
Trump’s legal team, in contrast, requested that the trial start in April 2026, which would be nearly a year and a half after the next presidential election.
Trump faces four federal charges: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.
The criminal case is one of four that the 2024 Republican front-runner currently faces.
