"Georgia DA Pushes for Aug. 5 Trial in Trump Election Interference Case"

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested a trial date of August 5 for the criminal case against former President Donald Trump and his co-defendants, who are charged with election interference in Georgia's 2020 presidential election. Trump's defense lawyer opposes the proposed trial date and has requested oral arguments on the matter. Willis also asked the judge to schedule a final plea hearing date on June 21. Trump is facing multiple criminal trials next year, including charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
