Trump Asks For Absolutely ABSURD Trial Date

"Donald Trump says he’ll be ready to go on trial on federal charges over his bid to subvert the last election … in April 2026.

Citing extraordinary amounts of evidence — including a tranche of 11.5 million pages that prosecutors handed over earlier this month — Trump lawyers John Lauro and Todd Blanche said in court papers filed Thursday that a 2.5-year delay before picking a jury would properly factor in the complexity of the case."

He’s hoping the government will forget about his crimes if enough time has passed.

[Cboz]

Wait he wondered why they didn't do this 2 years ago, now he wants to do it later? Hypocrite.

[kaleosniffeb]

Idc what y’all say, Trump is going to take the White House again!

[distanceismyplastercast]

I think judge Chutkin should grant Trump his 2026 trial date and then reand him to pre-trial custody for breaching all his bail conditions.
This would allow Trump to concentrate in preparing his defence in this "simple 1st amendment rights case"

[spanishdncr]

An innocent person wouldn’t want the trial pushed back. They’d want to vindicate themselves as soon as possible.

[therealjammit]

He can't win so he wants the opportunity to cheat.

[kennethmiller]

Trump had sense January 6th 2020 to prepare for this trial. Sense Trump cannot shut his mouth proves they need to rush this trial.

[Adrian-khxq]

If it wants 2 1/2 years put him in jail until the trial is over. Hopefully it will be found guilty and can continue incarceration.

[michaeltaylor]

It has taken 100, 000 of hours to gather evidence, interviews witnesses so let's give some credit to the fact that the son of a bitch is facing justice finally.

[anitallamas]

Keep reminding Trump, if he's innocent wouldn't he want to get the courts over with to prove his innocence?🙄

[Seedsofreason]

Where is this "evidence?" If I had something to absolutely prove my innocence I would present it like yesterday 😂😂😂.

[thorfinsky]

Maybe he should be held without bail until the trial is we'll see how interested Donnie and his lawyers are in dragging it out. 🤔 🤭

[KeithJackson-uxeh]

I say give it to him and then remand him into custody until trial. Watch that tune change real quick.

[Pinkielover]

Not absurd at all.. Happens pretty regularly

[Thomas-dsir]

Aren’t the republicans always bitching about prosecutors not trying cases.

[danielch]

It was definitely a typo. He meant to say he wanted the trial to be set for 2206.

[foxstele]

"Look your honor, the prosecution just has so much evidence against us that it is gonna take us a couple of years to get through it all."

[shadowjudge]

I sincerely hope the judge sets the date for next month. If Traitor Trump says he's ready, then give him a week or two to prep and bring him into the court.
Let's see this happen.
*LOCK TRUMP UP!*
*LOCK TRUMP UP!*

[thomasraymond]

Maybe he figures each crime deserves its own time to prepare for the defence.. or he figures it will take him that long to remember each crime he did.

[bovinityleak]

Orange dump: We should have this trial next century because im exceptionally precious.
The cake was precious too.
