A federal judge has scheduled E. Jean Carroll’s remaining defamation trial against former President Donald Trump for a date in January 2024 that coincides roughly with the kickoff of Republican presidential primary caucuses.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said in a Thursday scheduling order that Carroll’s civil trial against Trump will begin on January 15, 2024, unless the case has been settled by then.
