A federal judge on Monday set a date of March 4, 2024, for Donald Trump's election subversion trial – placing one of the biggest criminal cases in American history in peak election season.
The decision puts the trial opening just one day before "Super Tuesday," when more than a dozen states vote in the Republican primary contest, which Trump is leading comfortably, to pick the party's candidate for the 2024 presidential election.
