Trump Lawyer Claims Georgia Trial Would Interfere with Election

Donald Trump's lead attorney in Atlanta argued that holding his election interference trial in August would amount to "election interference" and restrict Trump's ability to campaign for the presidency. The attorney's remarks came during a hearing where the judge considered various procedural motions and the proposed trial date. Prosecutors insisted that the trial does not constitute election interference and that it is necessary to move forward with the case. The judge has yet to rule on the matter, and other complications include Trump's existing criminal cases in Washington, New York, and Florida. The issue of whether to try all 15 defendants together or in smaller groups is also under consideration.
