"Trump's Lawyers Seek Delayed Trial Date for Election Interference Case"

Donald Trump's lawyers have proposed a 2026 start for his federal trial on charges of attempting to steal the last election, arguing for more time to review evidence and debate pretrial motions. Prosecutors, however, argue for a January 2 trial date, citing the public's interest in a speedy trial and the significance of the case involving a former president charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump is already facing multiple criminal and civil trials, including a $250 million civil trial in October and a defamation case in January.
