Former Department of Justice officials have slammed Donald Trump’s attempts to delay his trials, pertaining to his 2020 election loss, as a tactic to interfere with upcoming elections. Legal experts argue trial schedules should remain independent of political timelines.
Former Department of Justice officials have criticized Donald Trump’s efforts to delay his trials by arguing they would amount to “election interference.” Trump, facing multiple legal challenges across federal and state jurisdictions for charges related to conspiracy concerning his 2020 election loss, has sought to postpone these trials until after the upcoming election. Legal experts maintain that trial schedules should be kept separate from political timelines, despite some success from Trump’s legal team in deferring proceedings. These maneuvers have been condemned by critics, who see them as baseless and indicative of Trump’s attempt to evade the serious charges against him. With trial dates yet to be firmly set and legal disputes ongoing, Trump’s attempts to delay his trials continue to stir controversy.
