Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis proposed a trial start date of March 2024 after the recent indictment of former President Donald Trump.
Willis requested a pretrial conference on Feb. 20, 2024, and a trial start date of March 4, 2024, one day before Super Tuesday, which is when the greatest number of states hold presidential primary elections or caucuses. Trump is the front-runner for the GOP primary race.A grand jury in Fulton County indicted Trump late Monday night on 13 charges, including violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, as part of a 19-person, 41-count indictment.
Willis has asked for the arraignments to begin the week of Sept. 5. The district attorney said the former president and his allies have until noon on Aug. 25 to report to authorities in Fulton County. Fifteen states are holding their primaries on Super Tuesday: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, and Virginia. American Samoa is holding a caucus on that day, as well.
The former president has called Willis"a radical Democrat" and her case"bogus," arguing that the indictment was"politically inspired" and brought to interfere with Trump's lead in the GOP primary race.
