Donald Trump said on Monday he would appeal the scheduling of a March 2024 trial over his alleged efforts to subvert his 2020 election defeat, though legal experts said such a move was not possible before a verdict is reached in the case. "I will APPEAL," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. A trial court's scheduling decision is not a legitimate basis for an appeal prior to a verdict being reached, according to legal experts.

    Exactly. Anyone truly innocent would be rushing to go in court with the cameras and shoot holes in the case and humiliate the prosecutor for the shoddy accusation.

      I want to see him in trial as much as anyone, but no one is rushing into anything when the literal mountain of evidence against you is 12.8 million pages. Even the judge said the prosecutions date of January 2024 was too early.

      That said, I’m very much looking forward to March 2024 😀
