Headline: Trump's Lawyers Look to Push Election Interference Trial Back to 2026
Caption: Politico reports that Donald Trump's legal team has filed court papers requesting a 2.5-year delay before choosing a jury, citing the extraordinary circumstances of the case. Among those circumstances is over 11.5 million pages of evidence that prosecutors turned over earlier in August. Trump lawyers John Lauro and Todd Blanche's request for an April 2026 trial date sharply contrasts prosecutors' ambitious call for the trial to start in January of 2024.
