A US judge has set a trial date of March 4 for Donald Trump in the federal case accusing him of plotting to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. The decision from US District Judge Tanya Chutkan denied a defense request to push the trial back until April 2026, about a year and a half after the 2024 election, but also sets it later than the January date proposed by special counsel Jack Smith's team. Judge Chutkan made it clear to both sides at the outset of Monday's status conference that she considered neither proposal acceptable. "These proposals are obviously very far apart," she said. "Neither of them is acceptable." But, she said: "The public has a right to a prompt and efficient resolution of this matter." Trump, a Republican, was charged earlier this month in a four-count indictment with scheming to undo his loss to Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the 2020 election. The federal election subversion prosecution is one of four criminal cases against Trump. Smith's team has brought a separate federal case accusing him of illegally retaining classified documents at his Palm Beach, Florida, property, Mar-a-Lago, and refusing to give them back. That case is currently set for trial next May 20. Trump also faces state cases in New York and Georgia. Manhattan prosecutors have charged him with falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment to a porn actor who has said she had an extramarital affair with Trump, while prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia, have charged Trump and 18 others in a racketeering conspiracy aimed at undoing that state's 2020 election. Trump, the early front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, surrendered Thursday in that case){kind=link}
