Donald Trump To Face DC Trial Amid GOP Primary

Former President Donald Trump has received a significant blow to his re-election hopes at the hands of a federal judge in Washington, DC. On Monday, August 28, District Court Judge Tanya S. Chutkan ordered the trial about his alleged 2020 election interference to begin on March 4, 2024 – right in the midst of the GOP primaries. This hobbles Trump’s bid for the White House with a federal criminal trial starting one day before Super Tuesday, when a third of delegates will be selected.
