Trump's Legal Maneuvers Raise Concerns and Delay Trials

The start date for Donald Trump's federal 2020 election obstruction trial has been removed from the public calendar, leading to speculation and rumors among his supporters. The case is on hold pending a decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals on whether Trump should be immune from prosecution due to the charges relating to his time in office. MAGA figures have suggested that the removal of the trial date means the case will be dropped, while others dismiss these theories as "idiotic." The trial is expected to be delayed pending the appeal ruling, with the judge setting a March 18 hearing for a separate case and preventing motions in the Trump case while it's on hold.
