The decision by Judge Tanya Chutkan was in line with the government’s initial request and a rebuff of Trump’s effort to delay it until April 2026.
The US federal judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s prosecution on charges of conspiring to overturn the 2020 election set a trial date for early March, laying out a schedule that was close to the government’s initial request of January and that rebuffed Trump’s extraordinary proposal to push off the proceeding until nearly a year and half after the 2024 election.
A second trial in New York City, in which Trump has been accused of more than 30 felonies connected to hush-money payments to a porn actor in the run-up the 2016 election, is set to go to trial on March 25. In remarks from the bench, Chutkan, who was appointed by President Barack Obama, played down arguments made by Trump’s lawyers that they needed until April 2026 to prepare for the trial given the voluminous amount of discovery they will have to sort through.
