Trump victory in 2024 would mean no trial in Georgia for years, lawyer argues

Trump's trial in Fulton county could be delayed until 2029 if he won re-election because of the US constitution, Steve Sadow said

Donald Trump's trial on charges that he conspired to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia would be delayed until 2029 if he won re-election next year because the US constitution prohibits states from interfering with federal government functions, his lawyer argued at a court hearing on Friday.

I believe that the supremacy clause and his duties as president of the United States - this trial would not take place at all until after his term in office," the former president's lawyer Steve Sadow said.
