The judge’s decision could have a pivotal impact on Donald Trump’s hopes for the presidential nomination.
WASHINGTON: A federal judge is expected to set a date on Monday for what could be one of the most momentous trials in American history: the United States of America versus Donald J Trump.
US district court judge Tanya Chutkan is to entertain the arguments of both sides at a 10.00am hearing on Monday at a federal courthouse in the nation’s capital. But the case before Chutkan may pose the greatest legal peril to Trump – particularly if it ends up being the first on what is shaping up to be a busy legal calendar for the former president.
“That would allow a trial, if it lasts four to six weeks, to finish before Super Tuesday , before the vast majority of Republican primary voters vote,” Ayres said.Trump is to go on trial in New York in March on charges of paying election-eve hush money to a porn star and in Florida in May for allegedly mishandling top secret government documents.
The case before Chutkan accuses Trump of conspiracy to defraud the US and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding – the Jan 6, 2021 joint session of Congress that was attacked by a mob of Trump supporters.
