Trump's Legal Team Accuses Trial Dates of Being Strategically Planned to Interfere with Election Campaign

Donald Trump's legal team claims that the early trial dates set for his four criminal cases are intentionally designed to clash with the final stages of the 2024 presidential election campaign and voting. Trump's spokesperson argues that the trials, which could last from four to six weeks each, may overlap and extend into October or November of next year. The spokesperson alleges a coordinated effort by prosecutors to tie Trump up in legal proceedings for political reasons. The potential collision between Trump's legal calendar and the upcoming election is already complicating both the legal and political realms. Trump faces 91 charges across the four indictments and is leading the pack of Republican presidential hopefuls, with his popularity among right-wing Republicans increasing with each indictment.
