"Competing Trial Dates Proposed in Trump's Mar-a-Lago Case"

Attorneys for Donald Trump and the special counsel have proposed competing trial dates for the Mar-a-Lago case, with the special counsel suggesting a start date of 8 July and Trump's attorneys proposing 12 August. Trump, along with his co-defendants, faces charges including mishandling classified documents and obstruction of justice, and has pleaded not guilty. Trump's attorneys argue that a fair trial cannot be held until after the 2024 presidential election and have requested hearings on his motions to dismiss the case after the US Supreme Court issues its ruling in Trump v United States. A day-long hearing is expected to take place to review the case and issues surrounding classified materials.

"Trump's Tactics to Divide Federal Judges in Mar-A-Lago Case"

Former President Donald Trump's legal team aims to pit federal judges against each other and manipulate trial schedules to delay his federal court trials until after the 2024 general election. By creating impasses and juggling his campaign and court calendars, they hope to shield Trump from facing trials before voters cast their ballots. The strategy involves convincing judges to delay trial dates and resolving legal complexities to stall proceedings. Trump's lawyers seek to prevent trials in federal courts through the summer, while Trump faces a separate trial in Manhattan in late March and a Florida trial at the end of May.

"John Eastman's Surprising Critiques and Plea for Independence in Georgia Election Case"

John Eastman, a co-defendant of Donald Trump in the Georgia election interference case, has requested a faster trial schedule for next year, seemingly taking a dig at the former president. Eastman's attorney argued that setting an earlier final plea date and dividing the defendants into two groups would allow for a quicker trial without Trump, as the Secret Service would not be involved in providing enhanced security. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had proposed a trial start date of August 5 and a final plea hearing date of June 21, but Eastman's attorney deemed this timeline arbitrary and requested an earlier date. Trump's lawyers have opposed Willis' proposal, and Trump himself has pushed to delay legal challenges until after the election. Eastman was charged with orchestrating the fake electors scheme and, like Trump, has pleaded not guilty.

"Juggling Trump's Legal and Political Chaos: How His Team Keeps Up"

Former President Donald Trump is preparing to testify in his civil fraud trial in New York, marking the first time he will face extensive courtroom questioning since leaving office. Trump's legal challenges have become a significant part of his campaign strategy, with his team expecting his testimony to last one day. However, the trial schedule may complicate his campaign schedule, potentially affecting his ability to attend rallies and debates. As Trump's legal and political operations collide, his advisers are making tentative plans to balance trial dates with campaign efforts, but the logistics are complicated by his extensive security presence. Trump's trials are set to coincide with key dates in the 2024 election calendar, and his advisers hope to delay the trials through legal maneuvers. Despite the challenges, Trump's campaign team remains confident in their ability to manage the situation and maintain an effective ground game in early-voting states.
