MSNBC All Smiles Over Fani Willis Asking for March 4 Trial Date for Trump Case–Eight Days Before Georgia Primary (Video)
Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis asked for a March 4, 2024 trial date for President Trump and his 18 co-defendants in her RICO indictment against them for challenging the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. The proposed trial date is eight days before Georgia’s presidential primary on March 12. Former prosecutors who have tried RICO cases have observed that a case with that many defendants usually takes about two years to get to trial.
Willis, who ordered Trump and the co-defendants to surrender by August 25, also asked for an arraignment date during the week of September 5.
