Documents case to begin on august 12th. That is correct. Donald trump asked for that trial tosk start just three mons before the president ial election. Except that request may not exactly by what it sounds like. It could very well be a game of 3d chess. But, yeah, doesnt sound like something donald trump plays all that often. But bear with me here. Trump pitching that august date could be ahi way to block that other federal criminal case, the specialra counsels much more serious federal Election Interference case before going to trial before the election.
