Attorneys for former US President Donald Trump have requested an April 2026 trial date for the federal election interference case, new filings show.

Prosecutors, led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, have asked for a much earlier date of January 2024. Judge Tanya Chutkan is set to rule on the request on August 28.

The decision will crucially place the trial ahead or after next year's presidential elections, in which Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination.

'The public interest lies in justice and fair trial, not a rush to judgment,' Trump's attorneys wrote on Thursday.

The 77-year-old Republican is facing ninety one criminal charges in four criminal cases including for alleged attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden and the mishandling of classified documents.

Why 2026?  Why not 2025?  Or December of 2024?

Or Nov 11, 2024 - the first Monday after he loses the election?

2025 or 2026 seems a bit lengthy.  I too question the time frame.

Fair enough.  I picked December 2024 just so that everyone would have a few weeks to calm down and catch up after the election itself.

He should get as much time to defend himself as it took to do the investigation(s), and if the investigation(s) are still going he should get added defense time.

Sounds fair.
