Trump has learned his trial date in three of his four criminal cases.

Specifically, Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday (August 28) set a March 4 trial date for Mr. Trump in the federal case in Washington. This is one of four criminal charges that Mr. Trump faces, all of which he has pleaded not guilty to (thus requiring trial).

That will be the day before “Super Tuesday,” a potentially decisive day in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, when states from Maine to California will make their final choices. Polls show Mr. Trump still has a large lead over his rivals in the race.

Judge Chutkan's decision means Mr. Trump could face trial in at least three separate criminal cases as he campaigns for the 2024 US election in November 2024, in which he is likely to face off against incumbent President Joe Biden from the Democratic Party.

Under previous rulings, Mr. Trump is set to appear in court in New York on March 25 on state charges in the case of concealing hush money payments to a porn star.

A third trial is scheduled for May 20, 2024, in the federal case in Florida that accuses Mr. Trump of illegally retaining classified records after leaving the White House and attempting to obstruct justice.

A trial date for Mr Trump’s fourth criminal case, which is accused of overturning the Georgia election results, has not yet been set. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis had proposed March 4, but Judge Chutkan’s decision means that date may change.

In addition to the four criminal cases, Mr. Trump is also a defendant in three other civil trials, scheduled to take place within the next six months.
