The timeline, combined with Trump’s other criminal cases, could put him in the courtroom for most of the first six months of 2024.
Georgia prosecutors are seeking a March 4, 2024, trial for Donald Trump and 18 allies on racketeering charges connected to the former president’s bid to subvert the 2020 election.
The timeline, combined with Trump’s other proposed and scheduled criminal cases, could put Trump in the courtroom for most of the first six months of 2024, a span that covers almost the entirety of the GOP primary in which he’s the frontrunner for the nomination.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis framed the proposed date as a bid to work around Trump’s other scheduled matters, including a March 25 trial date in New York on charges that he falsified business records to cover up an extramarital affair and a May 20 trial date on federal charges that he hoarded classified documents at his Florida estate.
“The State of Georgia proposes certain deadlines that do not conflict with these other courts’ already-scheduled hearings and trial dates,” Willis wrote in court documents filed Wednesday.
The proposal also includes a Sept. 5, 2023 arraignment, evidence-sharing deadlines in September and other interim motions throughout the fall.
