Attorneys for Donald Trump on Thursday night asked a federal judge to set an April 2026 trial date in the Washington case that charged the former president with conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

The proposed date is a dramatic contradiction to the Justice Department’s recommendation last week of a January 2 trial.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is expected to set the date at a court hearing scheduled for August 28.

Trump’s 2024 calendar numbers are jam-packed with court dates and campaign appearances as the former president heads into a presidential primary season as he braces for trials in four cases and four cities.
