Lawyers for Donald Trump on Thursday asked a federal judge in Washington to schedule an April 2026 trial for the former president, on federal charges that he allegedly sought to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.
He has a right to a timely trial, just not too timely, ok?
As has already been expressed in this very DC case, the right to a speedy trial applies not only to the defendant, but to the public, upon whose interest the charges were filed.
