The suggested April 2026 date is a counterproposal to the Justice Department's recommendation last week that the trial should begin Jan. 2, 2024.
The question is ultimately up to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is expected to set at least a tentative trial date during an Aug. 28 court hearing.
As it stands, they said they would have to review about 100,000 pages per day in order to meet the Justice Department's proposed date for jury selection. They also contend that the case concerns unprecedented questions that will take time to sort out. A four-count indictment issued this month, with charges including conspiracy to defraud the United States, accuses Trump of working to subvert the results of the election in a futile attempt to cling to power.
He is confronting both a presidential primary season and four criminal cases in four different cities. Next March 25, he is set for trial in a New York state case related to an alleged hush money payment to a porn actor.
