Donald J. Trump is actively campaigning for a return to the White House while simultaneously facing an unprecedented number of criminal and civil trials, a situation highlighted by @bbgvisualdata as unique in U.S. history. Legal timelines, scrutinized to make sense of this complex scenario, indicate Trump has proposed an August trial date to Judge Cannon in the classified documents case, according to @guardian. This move could delay the federal Jan. 6 case from going to trial before the 2024 election. A strategy to delay Trump's trials, reported by @nytimes on 3/5/24 and via @NYTimes, seems to be shifting public perception, with a decrease in the percentage of voters who view Trump's actions as crimes. Recent filings and statements, as discussed in @TheHillOpinion, suggest that a Trump criminal trial could coincide with the upcoming election. Ty Cobb, a former White House attorney under Trump, has commented on the difficulty of navigating these legal battles, noting that the facts in Trump's cases are particularly challenging.
Ty Cobb, who served as White House attorney under former President Trump, argued that the “facts are terrible” in his multiple legal cases and that it’s probably been “very difficult” for him to navigate the various battles https://t.co/RYeUGyq0hS https://t.co/4X9w3HlxMQ

The Hill is out with my column on the nightmare scenario where Trump could be tried just before (or even through) the upcoming election. Recent filings and statements appear to be laying the foundation for precisely that possibility... https://t.co/vlPx0GAApR
via @NYTimes A strategy to delay Donald J. Trump’s trials may be changing views, with the percentage of voters who see his actions as crimes falling across the spectrum since December. https://t.co/rR1c9wyyQ7

New on @guardian: Trump’s gambit of suggesting an August trial date to Judge Cannon in the classified docs case could mean the federal Jan. 6 case gets boxed out and won’t go to trial before the 2024 election https://t.co/uZroUVOPuE
