Trump DOJ Official Urges Judge to Reject Delayed Trial Date in Georgia Case

Former Justice Department official Jeffrey Clark, indicted alongside Donald Trump in a racketeering case in Georgia, has asked a judge to reject the proposed March 2024 trial date set by Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis. Clark's attorney criticized Willis for prematurely proposing a trial date and several pre-trial proceedings without consulting the defendants' counsel. Clark has been charged with violating Georgia's racketeering law and attempting to commit false statements and writings. He denies any wrongdoing.
