The Fulton County, Georgia, prosecutors want to put former President Donald Trump on trial for allegedly trying to rescind the 2020 presidential election results in Georgia.
The trial is set to begin on August 5, 2024, and is expected to continue beyond the November 2024 election.
Legal experts have raised concerns about the timing and its impact on the presidential election, and there are possibilities for Trump to pursue presidential immunity or argue before the United States Supreme Court that the trial is impeding upon his presidential duties.

“Of course, as with many things Trump does, we lack a precedent,” law professor Stephen Gillers said.
“But I believe that the Supreme Court would order a delay of any state criminal prosecution of a sitting president until the end of his term, regardless of when the alleged crime occurred.”
“With Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida showing signs of being less than committed to her May trial schedule, there might be some room for an earlier date in Georgia, which makes the timing of Willis’ request a little perplexing,” Joyce Vance wrote.
“The Mar-a-Lago case is straightforward, and it’s hard to imagine it taking more than several weeks, on the outside, to try.”
“We may gain some insight Friday on when Judge McAfee wants to try his case.”
“I believe the trial will take many months. And I don’t expect that we will conclude until the winter or the very early part of 2025,” Fani Willis said.
“I don’t, when making decisions about cases to bring, consider any election cycle or an election season.”
There is uncertainty about the timing, with the possibility of postponement by judges in Florida and Georgia.
The trial is expected to be lengthy, possibly continuing into 2025.
