The Washington Examiner has reported that former Department of Justice official Jeffrey Clark, one of the 19 individuals charged in the case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia, is opposing the proposed trial start date of March 4, 2024. Clark’s attorney argues that the proposed date is “highly premature” since none of the defendants have been arraigned following their indictment earlier this week. It seems like Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis hasn’t even bothered to discuss start date options with the defense counsels. This lack of communication shows a reckless disregard for the schedules of the busy attorneys involved.
This objection by Clark marks the first defendant to push back against the proposed start date. The charges against Clark and the others stem from their alleged attempts to reverse the results of the 2020 election, with violations of Georgia’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. Clark’s attorney points out that Willis’s desired trial start date, just eight days before Georgia’s presidential primary, shows clear political bias in the case. It seems like the Democrats are using this trial as an opportunity to smear Trump’s reputation before the primary.

In addition to opposing the start date, Clark’s attorney also mentions the possibility of attempting to have the case moved to a federal court, a maneuver that Trump’s former chief of staff, Mark Meadows, is already pursuing. This case, dubbed “Trump’s Most Dangerous Case in Georgia,” is riddled with politically motivated charges against the former president. Clark’s attorney asserts that the charges against him are based on a convoluted conspiracy theory, adding to the mounting evidence that this is a politically motivated attack on conservative values. It’s clear that the Democrats will stop at nothing to persecute Trump and his associates.
This is just the latest in a series of criminal cases brought against Trump this year. It seems like the Democrats are desperate to tarnish his legacy and ensure he never returns to the White House. These charges in Georgia, along with the previous indictments in New York, Florida, and Washington, D.C., demonstrate a coordinated effort to take down a conservative leader. Despite all the hurdles thrown his way, Trump remains the front-runner for Georgia’s presidential primary. The timing of this trial in relation to the primary is no coincidence. The Democrats are attempting to influence the outcome of the primary and undermine the will of the voters. It’s clear that justice is being held hostage by political opportunism.
