Georgia Prosecutor Seeks August 2024 Trial Date for Trump in Election Interference Case

The trial could coincide with the 2024 presidential election campaign, with Trump facing a total of 91 felony counts across four indictments.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has requested a trial date of Aug. 5, 2024, for former President Donald Trump and his remaining co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case.
The proposed trial date is three months before the 2024 presidential election, during which Trump, the Republican presidential primary front-runner, would likely be campaigning if he were to be the GOP nominee.
Trump is currently slated to go on trial March 4 in Washington in the federal 20220 election interference case, and in Florida on May 20 to face charges of keeping national security documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office.
Four of the 19 people charged in Willis’ sprawling indictment alleging a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome of the 2020 Georgia election results have agreed to plea deals.
Trump has been hit with a total of 91 felony counts across the four indictments brought against him this year, and he faces a maximum of 712 years and six months behind bars if convicted and given the maximum sentence on all counts.
