The trial date in the federal election subversion case against former President Donald Trump has been postponed due to ongoing appeals about presidential power.
Trump's team is seeking further delays and focusing on the fact that a new trial date has not yet been set.
A ruling in favor of prosecutors that allows the case to proceed is expected to be appealed, resulting in additional delays.

What bullshit. This shouldn't just be seen as a trial of Trump. It should be seen as a trial of our democracy, and it should be treated as such. If it gets delayed too far then what hope can we have to see justice done by the courts if anything more severe happens? I'm all for a fair trial, but it needs to happen before it can't.
