Trump Lawyers Clash with Prosecutors Over Trial Date in Election Subversion Case

Lawyers for Donald Trump are back in court as a federal judge considers conflicting proposals for a trial date in the case accusing him of working to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Special counsel Jack Smith's team has proposed a trial date of Jan. 2, 2024, while Trump's lawyers have requested a trial in April 2026. The judge is expected to set a tentative trial date during the status conference. The case is one of four criminal cases against Trump, including charges of illegally retaining classified documents and a racketeering conspiracy.
