Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has proposed a March 2024 trial date for the criminal trial against former President Donald Trump and 18 of his co-defendants.

Willis has given Trump and his co-defendants until August 25 to turn themselves in for booking. The proposed trial date of March 2024 would mean the trial would start just before the Georgia presidential primary, and the case will be closely watched by many.
