Trump's Federal Election Interference Trial Scheduled for March 4

A federal judge has set a trial date for former President Donald Trump's federal election case for early March, rejecting his request to postpone it until 2026. The decision potentially conflicts with three other trials Trump is facing, including one in Fulton County, Georgia, and another in Manhattan. If the Washington trial lasts more than 11 weeks, it could also overlap with Trump's federal trial in Florida. The judge emphasized the societal interest in a speedy trial and dismissed arguments that more time was needed for preparation. Trump's lawyers previewed defense strategies, including arguing for immunity and selective prosecution.
