The judge overseeing a criminal case against former President Donald Trump for interfering with the 2020 presidential election has set a trial date of March 4, 2024.

"I take seriously the defense's request that Mr. Trump be treated like any other defendant appearing before this court, and I intend to do so," said the judge, a longtime former public defender.

"Setting a trial date does not depend and should not depend on a defendant's personal obligations," the judge said. She said setting a trial date while considering a professional athlete's schedule would be "inappropriate" and the same would be true in a case involving a former president running to return to the White House.

 

“The public has a right to a prompt and efficient resolution of this matter,” Chutkan said.
