Attorney General Merrick Garland believes there should be a “speedy trial” against Donald Trump. Rode? Upcoming elections.
Merrick Garland told CNN he agreed with special counsel Jack Smith’s statement that “the public interest requires a speedy trial.”
Let’s not forget that in December the US Supreme Court denied Smith’s request for an expedited decision on whether Donald Trump can be tried for his actions in clinging to power in 2020. Therefore, the case was first heard by the Court of Appeal, which As a result, the trial against Donald Trump, scheduled for March 2024, may be postponed.
“The decision is now in the hands of the judge, who will set a trial date,” Garland said. The prosecutor denies that these actions constitute election interference.
– The cases were filed last year. The prosecutor pushed for speedy trials, which I agree with. And it is now in the hands of the justice system, not ours,” Merrick Garland said. – Special prosecutors were guided by the facts and the law. They brought cases when they thought they were ready, the U.S. attorney general noted.
Asked whether the Justice Department was not prosecuting Trump for political reasons, Garland said: “Of course that concerns me.”
– We must show with the actions we take that we act in accordance with the law and the facts – he said.
The case is one of four criminal trials that Trump faces. The Public Prosecution Service has charged him with four charges in connection with his attempt to annul the election results he lost.
Trump is fighting for the nomination
Donald Trump wants to run for president of the United States. For now, he’s fighting for the Republican Party nomination. In this race, only two candidates are trying to compete with Donald Trump. They are Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, the former US Ambassador to the United Nations and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley.
The chances of this happening are slim, but in New Hampshire, where the next primaries will take place, Haley is just over 10 percentage points behind Trump. An even more favorable poll for her was published on Tuesday.
