Details: The judge denied a motion by Trump’s lawyers to postpone the trial to April 2026, and at the same time refused to set the start of the trial in January, as requested by federal prosecutors.

Their result may determine which candidate receives a party nomination for the presidential election.
Background:
In early August, Trump was told allegations in the storming of the Capitol: conspiracy to mislead the US; conspiracy to obstruct an official investigation; obstructing and attempting to obstruct an official investigation; and conspiracy to violate rights. According to the measure of restraint, the ex-president prohibited from disclosing the facts of the case. He must also appear in court to testify after being summoned. Earlier it became known that the trial on another federal charge against Donald Trump – in improper handling of classified documents – will start on May 20, 2024. The politician is currently the defendant in four criminal cases: two federal ones related to the mishandling of classified documents and the storming of the Capitol in January 2021; in New York State, for paying money to a former pornographic actress in violation of political campaign finance rules; and in the state of Georgia on suspicion of creating a “criminal organization” to interfere in the 2020 elections. The ex-president has not admitted his guilt in any case. At the same time, about half of Republican voters say they would not vote for Trumpif the court found him guilty.
