Trump is facing several different criminal prosecutions.

A federal judge on Monday set March 4, 2024, as the start date for former US President Donald Trump's criminal trial on charges of trying to overturn his 2020 election defeat in a failed bid to keep himself in power.

“The public has a right to a prompt and efficient resolution of this matter," US District Judge Tanya Chutkan said.

Former US President Donald Trump on Monday said he will appeal the trial date of March 2024 in the case wherein he has been criminally charged over attempts to overturn his 2020 presidential election defeat.

He did not mention further details of how or when the appeal will be made and called the probe politically motivated.

US Judge Tanya Chutkan on Monday set a trial date of March 4 for the federal case in Washington, one of four criminal prosecutions the former president faces.
