Jack Smith Proposes January Date For Trump’s J6 Trial

CNBC reports:

Special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday proposed a Jan. 2 start date for Trump’s trial on charges of attempting to overturn his loss to Biden. Smith in a filing in Washington, D.C., federal court argued that that trial date would “vindicate the public’s strong interest in a speedy trial.”

That interest is “of particular significance” in a case involving an ex-president accused of conspiring to subvert a democratic election “and discount citizens’ legitimate votes,” Smith wrote in the eight-page filing.

Smith’s office estimated that its case would take no longer than four to six weeks to present to jurors. The court filing also said that Smith expects to have “substantially completed” the production of evidence to be turned over to Trump by Aug. 28.
