U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan scheduled a March 4 court date earlier this week for former President Donald Trump's federal 2020 election subversion trial, which is the day before Super Tuesday, when 15 state primaries and caucuses are held.
Trump said he plans to appeal this, even though trial schedules aren't subject to appeal. After the date was scheduled, Trump responded on Truth Social, vowing to appeal the trial calendar."Today a biased, Trump Hating Judge gave me only a two month extension, just what our corrupt government wanted, SUPER TUESDAY. I will APPEAL!" he wrote.
While there is not an understood basis for appeal in scheduling matters, here are a couple of ways legal experts say Trump could address the trial date.One thing Trump's legal team could do is file a motion for Chutkan to reconsider her decision, likely citing the amount of time before the trial and arguing it needs additional time to prepare adequately.
