TL;DR Summary

Scheduling trials for Donald Trump has become complicated, with multiple cases pending. Trump's lawyer argues that holding a trial on election day would be "election interference," while Georgia prosecutors deny this claim and seek an August start for the trial. The judge has not made a decision but raised questions about scheduling the trial during Trump's presidential campaign. Trump and 14 co-defendants are charged with conspiring to overturn the 2020 election results. Trump's lawyer argues that trying him during the campaign would impede his ability to campaign, while prosecutors maintain that it is necessary to proceed with the trial.
