Trump's Legal Battles: Trial Dates, Arraignments, and Pretrial Timetables

The scheduling phase of former President Donald Trump's trial on charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election has begun. Prosecutors acknowledge that it will take months, if not a year or more, to prepare for a trial that may involve testimony from Trump's inner circle. Trump's defense argues that they need years to review the evidence. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is expected to preside over the case and has proposed several dates for the parties to appear before her. She intends to set a trial date at the upcoming conference on August 28.
