U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday scheduled the trial in former President Donald Trump's election subversion case for March 4, 2024, in Washington, D.C.
Jury selection in the trial is set to begin on March 4, under Chutkan's schedule, commencing one day before Super Tuesday, as NBC reported. Though Chutkan argued the trial lead-up period would be a sufficient amount of time for the ex-president's defense team to prepare themselves, attorney John Lauro opposed the date, saying he does not feel he can adequately defend Trump in that amount of time. Lauro and co-counsel Todd Blanche had previously requested that Chutkan set the trial for April 2026, which the judge called "far beyond what is necessary."
