Trump’s federal 2020 election trial postponed indefinitely
The federal judge overseeing former President Trump’s federal 2020 election trial officially postponed its March 4 start date indefinitely while his claim of presidential immunity remains on appeal.
Why it matters: It’s now likely that the first of Trump’s four criminal trials will be over New York’s charges related to 2016 hush money payments, which is slated for March 25.
