Instead, should the timing stick, the trial would come amidst Trump’s campaign for the White House - well past most states’ presidential primaries, but before the summer’s national nominating conventions. The new timeline is a blow to Trump, whose legal team requested the court push the trial until after the 2024 presidential election.
