Experts mock Trump vow to "appeal" date

Former President Donald Trump on Monday lashed out at U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan after she slated his election conspiracy trial for March 4. The quadruply-indicted former president vowed to "appeal" the date after his team pushed to delay the trial to 2026 — but experts say a court's scheduling order is not subject to appeal.

"Deranged Jack Smith & his team of Thugs, who were caught going to the White House just prior to Indicting the 45th President of the United States (an absolute No No!), have been working on this Witch Hunt for almost 3 years, but decided to bring it smack in the middle of Crooked Joe Biden's Political Opponent's campaign against him. Election Interference! Today a biased, Trump Hating Judge gave me only a two month extension, just what our corrupt government wanted, SUPER TUESDAY. I will APPEAL!" Trump wrote on Truth Social, going on to question when Smith would "Criminally Charge" the House Jan. 6 committee, which he accused of lying.
