BREAKING: Judge Cannon sets Trump trial date for May 20, 2024
Here is the timeline Cannon laid out. https://t.co/8LGnBqUO06storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

This gives Trump about a month between criminal trials -- the New York one begins in late March and may carry to mid-April. The Florida one begins in mid-May. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
MORE: Cannon says she doesn't need to rule right now on Trump's contention that the 2024 election would make it impossible to seat an impartial jury. But she certainly doesn't view it as impossible given her decision to set the date in the latter third of primary season.
And Cannon has designated the case "complex," despite DOJ saying that as a legal matter the case isn't particularly complicated.

NEWS: Stan Woodward, appearing late to a sentencing in a Jan. 6 case, says he was delayed because special counsel Smith team started asking his client (believed to be Trump aid Will Russell) questions that infringe on executive privilege.
Judge MCFADDEN, who ordered Woodward to explain his belated appearance, said he absolved the attorney of anything improper and was upset with prosecutors who had assured him they would not let the grand jury matter interfere with the sentences set for 2pm today
“Talking about obstructions of official proceedings,” McFadden said sharply. “The government has not acted as I required.”

JUST IN: Judge Royce Lamberth has *denied* QAnon Shaman Jacob CHANSLEY's motion to vacate his conviction. https://t.co/pOc5t0WIcGecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…
Image
Judge Lamberth finds that Chansley "quite sensibly," pleaded guilty given the extraordinary mountain of evidence of his culpability. The Tucker videos, he notes unsurprisingly, are devoid of meaningful context. https://t.co/NTbuGzzIenecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…

MORE: Lamberth says none of the videos aired by Tucker Carlson are actually exculpatory, especially knowing teir context and given the conduct Chansley has already admitted to. https://t.co/ivxQbLnohAecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…

JUST IN: One of the 16 electors charged in Michigan — Kathy Berden, a close ally of RNC chairwoman Ronna McDANIEL — indicated that all 16 false electors were "asked to keep silent" when they met.

Among those charged is also Meshawn MADDOCK, the former co-chair of the Michigan GOP. michigan.gov/ag/-/media/Pro…
FLASHBACK: I emailed with MADDOCK on Nov. 12, 2020 about the prospect of casting GOP electoral votes for Trump despite the outcome in Michigan.

JUST IN: Trump says on Truth Social he's gotten a target letter from Jack SMITH's Jan. 6 grand jury
NEW: Donald Trump says he got a target letter from Jack Smith's Jan. 6 investigators — the clearest signal yet that Smith is nearing an indictment of the former president stemming from his efforts to subvert the 2020 election. politico.com/news/2023/07/1…
There's a high probability that Trump isn't the only target of this investigation, so it would be unsurprising if other figures in Trump's orbit received similar target letters.

NEW: Six things to watch as Trump's prosecution for hoarding classified documents returns to court — for the first time in front of Judge Aileen Cannon.

w/ @joshgerstein

politico.com/news/2023/07/1…
The biggest question: How will Judge Cannon factor in Trump's political calendar — if at all. DOJ says running for office if a job like any other, and courts don't typically move mountains to accommodate someone's day job.

Trump, obviously, disagrees.

politico.com/news/2023/07/1…
How will Cannon treat Trump's other legal obligations — his civil suits in October and January, his criminal case in NY in March and other dates associated with those matters?

She could try to bigfoot them or work around them carefully.
