Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.
The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus.
Judge is announcing it on 8/28… but I’d love for her to just go:
"Defense makes a strong case for 4/2026. I’m setting that date and remanding defendant into custody until that date.
Please note, you can get what you want and still not be entirely happy."
I’d love that, if I was ever on the hook for almost 100 high-end felony charges, I could just be like “Wait, time out! I have things I want to do first!” and expect the judge to be like “You know what? You go have fun! Play some golf! Run for president! You just take all the time you need, sweetie!”
You can bet your ass that any of us common schlubs would be rotting in a maximum security facility where you can’t take a piss without being watched by a security camera and 5 guards and have a slightly less than assured chance of getting Epsteined before your court date.
“Rules for thee! Not for me!”
Pretty sure he has to actually run for president for it to fly.
Which is tedious. Personally, I imagine it’s a lot easier to just not be a felonious idiot.
Fine by me.
Let’s lock him up in a holding cell while he awaits his trial, just to be safe.
The day that I see Trump in handcuffs is the day I’ll be opening a nice bottle of champagne with dinner. Same goes for the day it’s confirmed that he’s ineligible for running for office again and the day he receives a prison sentence.
Unfortunately there’s nothing preventing him from running for president out of prison. God forbid if you’re a disgusting foreigner, but trying to overthrow the government in the highest act of treason since the civil war? Nah, go ahead mister president.
We’ll see. I won’t pretend to know much of anything about the law, but I saw a news article about some lawyers who recently concluded that an article of the 14th amendment actually does prevent him from holding office.
And yeah, on paper the law applies to everyone but clearly that’s far from the truth. Seems like Trump’s consequences are finally starting to catch up with him though.
The “no rebels or insurrectionists in office” clause? That only takes effect of he’s actually convicted. And then, of course, he’ll ignore the court ruling, whine about persecution, appeal the case, and continue doing whatever the duck he wants until he’s physically restrained.
Yeah I think that’s the one. He might be convicted soon, I think. I hope.
Well-done steak with ketchup, just like Donnie likes it.
Ninety-one felony indictments in four cases in three states and Washington, DC. And forty of them are either for or are related to espionage.
Wow.
Ironic.
The guy being charged with election interference doesn’t want the court cases to interfere with his campaigning in the next election.
If he didn’t want multiple criminal trials to interfere with his political ambitions then perhaps he shouldn’t have committed all those felonies?
I agree, there’s a whole new election for him to interfere with.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump, the front-runner in polls for the 2024 Republican nomination, is seeking to delay his federal trial on charges related to his efforts to stop the peaceful transfer of power and retain the White House following his 2020 election loss.
The incumbent administration has targeted its primary political opponent—and leading candidate in the upcoming presidential election—with criminal prosecution," Trump’s attorneys wrote.
In a filing last week, Smith’s team requested that jury selection begin in December and that the trial start just after the holiday break, on Jan. 2, 2024.
That date, senior assistant special counsel Molly Gaston wrote, “would vindicate the public’s strong interest in a speedy trial—an interest guaranteed by the Constitution and federal law in all cases, but of particular significance here, where the defendant, a former president, is charged with conspiring to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election, obstruct the certification of the election results, and discount citizens’ legitimate votes.”
Trump had telegraphed a plan to delay the trial until after the 2024 election and has said that he will try to have the case moved out of Washington, D.C., even though that’s where most of his alleged criminal activity took place.
“The appropriate way to identify and address those biases is through careful voir dire that asks, among other things, whether prospective jurors can ‘lay aside [their] impression[s] or opinion[s] and render a verdict based on the evidence presented in court.’”
I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Great summary, thanks!
So they are hoping he dies before the trial. Bold move cotton, let’s see how it plays out.
He knows he cannot win.
