Judge Tanya Chutkan said Thursday that a potential start date for Donald Trump’s election subversion trial is still “months” away.
That’s likely music to Trump’s ears, as the former president and his team have fought tooth and nail to have each of his criminal indictments pushed back to after the general election on Nov. 5.
Election Day is exactly two months away, but Chutkan’s latest comments suggested she doesn’t believe Trump’s trial will commence before then. She was adamant that politics would have no sway on the trial, but she did acknowledge the case’s national importance.
