Former President Donald Trump’s legal team is requesting a trial date in April 2026, rather than the Justice Department's proposed deadline of January 2024, for his federal election trial. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is expected to announce the trial date on August 28.

Recently, Chutkan ruled that the government didn't provide enough evidence to support restricting information related to the case. Prosecutors aimed to forbid Trump's lawyers from sharing sensitive materials, including witness testimonies, recordings, and transcripts of Trump associates with the former president.

Trump's attorneys argued that the government's request was overly broad and violated Trump's First Amendment rights.

Despite the close decision, Judge Chutkan ruled that only information specifically designated as 'sensitive' should be protected, emphasizing that the defendant's right to free speech has limits. The objective of a protective order is to prevent the potential release of information to the jury pool.
