Donald Trump’s lawyers are seeking a later trial date for his charges of seeking to overturn the 2020 election.

They are asking the judge to reject the government’s proposal for a trial in early January of 2024, instead asking to push it back until April of 2026 – nearly a year and a half after the 2024 election.

US Correspondent Dan Mitchinson told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the trial will likely be pushed back to a certain degree, as Trump’s attorneys can’t be in every courtroom at once.
