The ex-president said that the trial should only take place after the 2024 election, when he could theoretically pardon himself if he regains the presidency.
shortly after the request was made, complaining that the criminal proceedings would interfere with his campaign for president.
Former President Donald Trump speaks on Saturday in Columbia, South Carolina. Trump on Thursday griped about Special Counsel Jack Smith's proposed date for the beginning of his January 6 trial, arguing that the trial should be held after the election."Deranged Jack Smith has just asked for a trial on the Biden Indictment to take place on January 2nd., just ahead of the important Iowa Caucuses," Trump wrote.
"Such a trial, which should never take place due to my First Amendment Rights, and massive BIDEN CORRUPTION, should only happen, if at all, AFTER THE ELECTION," he added."The same with other Fake Biden Indictments. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!"with a copy of the court filing requesting the January 2 date and highlighting a section that argues a"speedy trial" is in"the public's strong interest.
"A January 2 trial date would vindicate the public's strong interest in a speedy trial," the filing states."[A speedy trial is] of particular significance here, where the defendant, a former president, is charged with conspiring to overturn the legitimate results of the 2020 presidential election, obstruct the certification of the election results, and discount citizens' legitimate votes.
Smith estimates that Trump's trial will take"no longer" than four to six weeks to complete, while arguing that the proposed start date provides plenty of time for Trump's team to"to review the discovery in this case and prepare a defense."
