On Monday, a group of former judges and attorneys who served as officials in Republican administrations filed an amici brief showing support for the Department of Justice’s proposed timeline in the 2020 election trial where a Jan. 2, 2024 trial date has been set. They wrote that it is in the interest of the voting American public that the trial happen sooner, rather than the later date former President Donald Trump’s legal team had proposed.
“This trial will present for decision by a jury of the former president’s peers the momentous question of whether a President of the United States of America committed grave crimes against the United States when he attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election,” they wrote, citing the charges against former President Trump.
