    Prosecutors wanted a December 2023 start date. They admitted that this date was “aggressive”.

    Trump wanted to push the start date until after the election (so that he could appoint an attorney general that would dismiss the case).

    The very pro-Trumo judge set the trial date for May 2024. I guess the national spotlight and her previous wrist slap from the higher court compelled her to not make the worst possible decision today.
