When will the trial of Donald Trump take place?

Donald Trump's calendar is filled with court hearings related to his numerous criminal charges and civil lawsuits. The former president and his legal team are preparing for a busy year, trying to juggle multiple court dates while Trump continues his2024 presidential campaign.

At the moment, Trump has been accused of committing a crime four times: two on the federal level and two on the state level. In addition, two civil lawsuits are pending against the former president in New York.

Although Trump's legal team is continuously trying to convince judges to postpone court dates until the 2024 elections, almost all dates for the criminal charges have been set for next spring.

The most relevant event at the moment is Trump's civil case against the state of New York, which begins in Manhattan court on Monday, October 2.

Civil case in New York

In a civil lawsuit filed by Attorney General Letitia James, Trump and his company "Trump Organization" are accused of making false or misleading asset valuations in financial statements. This case is being heard by Judge Arthur Engoron in New York.

The judge will determine the punishment for Trump's fraudulent activities after it was established last week that Trump, his sons Donald Jr. and Eric, as well as the companies and executives, had inflated the value of their company's assets for many years.

The case against E. Jean Carroll

Trump is set to go to court against E.

The judge assigned to the case is Lewis Kaplan, and it will take place in New York.

Criminal charges related to the 2020 elections

This case relates to four federal criminal charges that Trump is facing regarding his alleged attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 election and the subsequent insurrection on January 6.

Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States, obstruction, and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, as well as conspiracy against rights. The former president has declared his innocence on all charges.

The case was initiated by special prosecutor Jack Smith after a lengthy investigation into the Capitol attack, which was incited by false claims from the former president about widespread voter fraud in the 2020 elections.

Judge Tanya Chutkan is hearing this case in Washington.

Accusation of forging business documents

In April, Trump became the first sitting or former president to be charged with a crime after being indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in a Manhattan criminal court.

The charges are based on an investigation by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who claims that Trump attempted to cover up payments made to silence porn actress Stormy Daniels in 2016 regarding her allegations of an extramarital affair.

At the hearing, Trump declared his innocence on all 34 charges.

The judge overseeing this case is Juan Merchan in New York.

Accusation of improper document handling

The former president was once again indicted at the federal level in June, this time for his alleged mishandling of confidential government documents that Trump took with him to his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida after leaving the White House in 2021.

Trump was initially charged with 37 criminal counts, including violations of the Espionage Act, as he allegedly unlawfully retained top-secret documents containing national security information.

Three additional charges were added to the original accusations in the supplementary indictment. Trump declared his innocence on all 40 charges in total.

Trump has been accused along with two of his former aides.

The judge presiding over this case is Eileen Cannon in Fort Pierce, Florida.

Accusation of attempts to overturn the election results

Trump was also charged in Fulton County by prosecutor Fani Willis for his alleged involvement in attempts to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, along with 18 co-defendants.

The former president has been charged with violating the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, as well as 12 other charges. Trump and his co-defendants have declared their innocence on all counts.

The date for the court hearing for Trump has not been set yet, but the case is being handled by Judge Scott McAfee.

Currently, two of Trump's co-defendants, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, have separated their cases from the other co-defendants. Their trial is set to begin on October 23.
