Donald trumps trial on charges he tried to steal the 2020 election. In a court filing today, Special Counsel jack smith asked for a start date of january 2nd, 2024. He said this would vindicate the publics interest in a speedy trial, that will ultimately be decided by the judge presiding in that case, judge tanya chutkan. But even assuming she chooses a somewhat later start, there may be some delays along the way, donald trump is probably going to face trial in this case before the president ial election next november. Though he does have one critical possible hail mary remaining. He and his lawyers could try to somehow find a way to kick the case up to the Supreme Court, where the conservative majority would rescue him. That was one of the last desperate plans for Donald Trumps coup back in 2021, to get the Supreme Court to rule in his favor. We know theres at least one very conservative justice who one of trumps Coup Plotters thought would be particularly inclined to help out. I spea
just cited, melissa, i want to be scrupulously fair here, kenneth chesebro speculating that thomas would be their best shot doesn t mean that he would have been. this is a speculation by chesebro, and maybe he wouldn t have been. but i have to say that if i were justice thomas, we know that his wife is communicating with john eastman. we know she s texting mark meadows about the coup. we know she favors the coup. we have people inside the coup plot counting on you. i would be mortified that they thought that of me. that they think that this guy is their guy, that when they are trying to pull off the first coup in american history, or the first since fort sumter, basically, that the guy that they might save them is justice thomas. coop cuckoo, chris. he doesn t seem to mind that he is known as their guy. he doesn t seem to. mine he revels in that. again, these are close
coop cuckoo, chris. he doesn t seem to mind that he is known as their guy. he doesn t seem to. mine he revels in that. again, these are close associations with the kinds of conservative interests not only have business before the court but in the wake of january six we are lots of defenses of what happened in the capital and what happened on the steps of the capital. and again, that s probably by design as well. this is someone who they think is their man on the court. donald trump has said repeatedly that his favorite justices clarence thomas. this is someone who s sensibilities align with layers and apparently now his pockets also align with their, or least that s what this reporting is showing. jamelle bouie and melissa murray, thank you both. coming up, we ll head inside a michigan courtroom where the lactic acid buildup and liver problems can occur. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, or if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. dovato ma
