Former President Donald Trump’s March 4 trial date had been heavily spotlighted as it would put the former president on trial for his actions during his last days in office, just one day before more than a dozen states hold their Republican primaries, also known as Super Tuesday. But now that date has been knocked off the court calendar.
The date had originally been set by U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who held fast to March 4 amid several attempts by Trump attorneys to push back the court schedule and ultimately the trial. Judge Chutkan had granted several modest delays for pre-trial deadlines without moving the trial date, thus tightening the case schedule. The trial date removal from the calendar was first reported by the Washington Post.
