Trump, who was processed in Fulton County, Georgia, last week for similar charges, unsuccessfully fought to have this Washington, D.C. trial pushed until 2026, after the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan set the date, which is the day before Super Tuesday, when more than a dozen key states vote for their pick in the Republican field.<\/p>\n<p>Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee said Monday that Trump and his alleged co-conspirators in the case will be arraigned Sept. 6.<\/p>\n<p>Trump faces 91 charges across four indictments in Florida, New York, Georgia and Washington, D.C. The other charges are related to Trump\u2019s alleged payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and his handling of classified documents.<\/p>\n<p>Trump\u2019s court date for the alleged payments is in late March, and the classified documents court date is set for May, both in the middle of a heated election year. The Republican National Convention is scheduled to begin July 15 of next year.<\/p>\n<p>Trump, who is far and away the Republican frontrunner for president, has blasted the indictments as political weaponization of the legal system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt has just been reported that aides to TRUMP prosecutor, Deranged Jack Smith, met with high officials at the White House just prior to these political SleazeBags Indicating me OVER NOTHING,\u201d Trump wrote on social media, referring to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/08\/26\/biden-staffers-met-with-special-counsel-jack-smiths-aides-before-trump-indictment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>reporting<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0from the New York Post\u00a0that aides for Biden and Smith met just before the indictment was announced.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf this is so, which it is, that means that Biden and his Fascist Thugs knew and APPROVED of this Country dividing Form of Election Interference, despite their insisting that they \u2018knew nothing,\u2019 Trump added. \u201cIt\u2019s all a BIG LIE, just like Russia, Russia, Russia, &amp; not knowing about son\u2019s business dealings.
