A federal judge set a March 4 trial date in the case brought by the Justice Department against former President Donald Trump over his alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is overseeing the case, said in a hearing on Monday that the trial date suggested by federal prosecutors, who proposed Jan. 2., didn't allow Trump enough time to prepare. But Trump's team said the trial should be pushed back until April 2026, after the presidential election, which Chutkan said is "far beyond what is necessary."
