Justice Juan Merchan signaled in September that he would consider pushing back the trial date from March, which could potentially overlap with his federal trial in the D.C. election subversion case, but he ultimately rejected that and ordered both sides to meet in court a month before that after Trump’s lawyers tried to take a peek at his private conversation with U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, reported The Daily Beast.

“No further disclosure is required,” Merchan wrote in a Nov. 9 order.

Merchan also argued that Trump had so many legal problems that he might as well keep the original trial date rather than complicate matters further.

“Indeed, adjourning this trial prematurely can only serve to further muddy your client’s already crowded trial calendar and possibly result in even further delay,” Merchan wrote.

Trump absolutely slammed by facing standard scheduling procedure. Truly he’s feeling the retribution for his actions.

He’s gonna spend 2024 in court rooms rather than campaigning. But that might be his way of saving venue fees.
