Donald Trump's trial has been fast-tracked ahead of next year's election.
The former President of United States is scheduled to stand trial on federal charges relating to an alleged plot to overturn the 2020 election results.
Trump's case will be decided by the Supreme Court in March.
However, international correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Trump appointed three of the Justices himself.
He says there is a clear conservative majority in the court.
