The New York court hearing the case of former US President Donald Trump may begin the trial in January 2024, Agence France-Presse reported.
In turn, CNN said the next personal hearing, which Trump is scheduled to attend, is scheduled to take place on December 4, 2023. It will be the first in a series of procedural hearings, in which both sides will have the opportunity to present their motions.
Pre-trial restraint measures are also considered during these hearings. So far, no amount of pre-trial restraint has been chosen for Trump.
If none of the parties requests additional time to familiarize themselves with the case materials, the trial itself is likely to begin in January 2024, according to AFP.
Usually, it takes a few weeks for the matter of the lawsuit to be heard. At the same time, as practice shows, the stage of preliminary hearings can take a long time.
