Judge rejects Trump bid to push federal election trial to 2026 - Lemmy.world
The federal judge presiding over Donald Trump’s criminal election interference
case shut down a bid by the former president to set his trial more than
two-and-a-half years away. “This case is not going to trial in 2026,” Judge
Tanya Chutkan said in a hearing Monday morning in U.S. District Court in
Washington, D.C., NBC News reported. But the judge also said that she would
reject a proposal by federal prosecutors to bring the case to trial in less than
five months.
Dude wants to pardon himself. 😂
These are state level charges, right? If he won reelection for president he could not pardon a state level conviction. Only the governor of a state can do that, which is still likely. What moving the trial would do is create a conflict for sentencing a sitting president.
This particular trial is for the federal charges in DC.
Oh, my fault. You’re right. This is my mistake for getting confused about multiple trials.
Pretty crazy that it’s hard to keep a former president’s federal crimes trials straight. And the guy is still leading by far in the Republican primaries. Less than ten years ago, Howard Dean’s campaign basically ended because people thought his enthusiastic yell was weird. Now we have a mess of people saying they’d still vote for Trump even if he’s found guilty. It blows my mind.
