Former US President Donald Trump will be tried from March 4, 2024 in federal court in Washington for his attempts to reverse the result of the 2020 election. This was announced on Monday by Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will chair the proceedings.

Donald Trump strongly denounced the date set, calling the decision a“election interference” in the presidential election of 2024. In a publication on his Truth Social network, the former president, candidate for the Republican primaries, has accused the judge of “hating Trump” and announced that he would file an appeal.

The septuagenarian is both accused in New York of suspicious payments to a former actress the movies Xnegligent management of confidential documents following his departure from the White House – a case tried in Florida – and from electoral pressures in Georgia in the 2020 election.
