Trump’s Super Tuesday Trial Date

When Donald Trump won the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, he spent Super Tuesday barnstorming Columbus, Ohio, and Louisville, Ky., holding his signature rallies. Next year Mr. Trump might be stuck in a defendant’s chair at the federal courthouse in Washington, D.C., and how the public will respond is anybody’s guess.

Mr. Trump has been indicted four times, but the first case to be resolved might be the one involving his 2020 election subversion. On Monday the judge overseeing that prosecution penciled in a trial date: March 4. Super Tuesday is March 5, with more than a dozen states scheduled to vote for presidential nominees. “My primary concern here,” District Judge Tanya Chutkan said, “is the interest of justice.”
