“The Atlanta-area prosecutor leading the criminal racketeering case against former president Donald Trump and 14 allies alleging they broke the law when they sought to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss said Tuesday she anticipated the trial to conclude by early 2025, with proceedings likely underway during the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election,” the Washington Post reports.
“The news comes as Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee is beginning to consider scheduling issues in the sprawling Georgia case — a decision in which he will likely have to take into account Trump’s other scheduled legal proceedings in other cases, including the separate federal election interference case led by special counsel Jack Smith.”
