A lawyer representing former US President Donald Trump argued that Trump should not be tried in Georgia if he wins the 2024 presidential election. The lawyer, Steven Sadow, made the statement during a hearing to determine the date of the trial of Trump, who faces charges of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election in Georgia.
Trump is the Republican front-runner for the 2024 presidential nomination, and Sadow argued that if Trump wins the election, the trial should be postponed until he leaves office. He claimed that holding the trial during Trump's presidency would interfere with his responsibilities as president.
Trump faces multiple state and federal criminal prosecutions, and his legal team has repeatedly tried to delay the cases until after the 2024 election. Sadow's statements suggest Trump could use his campaign and a potential second term to delay even more these cases.
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested that Georgia's trial begin in August 2024, a deadline that would likely stretch the proceedings through Election Day and into early 2025. However , Judge Scott McAfee expressed skepticism about holding a trial for the 15. remaining defendants together.
Trump and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty to racketeering and other charges related to an alleged scheme to overturn his 2020 election loss in Georgia. Four of the original 19 defendants have pleaded guilty to lesser charges in exchange for agreeing to cooperate with prosecutors.
The case highlights the legal challenges Trump still faces and the potential impact of these cases on his presidential campaign. The outcome of the trial could have major implications for Trump's political future and the broader investigation into his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
