Former President Donald Trump has denounced U.S. prosecutors after they proposed Jan. 2, 2024, as the start date for his trial on charges related to his efforts to dispute the results of the 2020 election.

The proposed trial date is just two weeks before voters would first cast their ballots in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, where President Trump is the frontrunner.
