WASHINGTON — Former President Donald Trump’s federal election interference trial in Washington, D.C., will no longer begin on March 4, Judge Tanya Chutkan wrote in a court order released on Friday. It is unclear when the trial will now start.
Chutkan’s ruling comes as the D.C. Circuit Court has not yet decided on whether the former president is immune from prosecution.
“The court will set a new schedule if and when the mandate is returned,” said the court order signed by Chutkan.
The elimination of the March 4 start date increases the chances that Trump’s New York case involving allegations of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels will be the next trial against the former president. That case is currently set to start on March 25.
