In a CNN interview, Garland freely admitted his role in meddling in the election. Despite Trump’s attempts to delay the two trials that are set for March 4 and May 24, he freely concurs that a trial should take place as soon as possible.
“Garland said he agrees with special counsel Jack Smith’s assertion that the “public interest requires a speedy trial” in the 2020 election currently set for trial in March in Washington, DC.” CNN reported.
“The matter is now in the hands of the trial judge to determine when a trial will take place,” said Merrick Garland in the Thursday-recorded CNN interview.
“Garland also defended the department against allegations of election interference when asked whether he thought the federal cases against Trump should have been brought sooner – in order to avoid the prosecution of a leading candidate unfolding months before a presidential election.” the outlet said.
“The cases were brought last year. The prosecutor has urged speedy trials, with which I agree. And it’s is now in the hands of the judicial system, not in our hands,” Garland said. “Special prosecutors followed the facts and the law. They brought cases when they thought they were ready.”

Judge Chutkan, an Obama appointee, prohibited Jack Smith from submitting any more motions in a 6-page order that USA First Reporting examined. This was in light of Trump’s immunity argument, which is presently awaiting a ruling from the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.
Additionally, Judge Chutkan denied Trump’s request to find Jack Smith and his attorneys in contempt for disobeying her directive to halt all court proceedings.
According to Trump’s legal team, he is immune from federal prosecution for any crimes he may have committed while serving as president of the United States.
The outcome of Jack Smith’s DC case is uncertain while we wait for a federal appeals court to rule on Trump’s claim of immunity.
Judge Cannon of Florida suggests rescheduling the classified document trial date in the event that the January 6 case in Washington, DC, is delayed.
