This is John Bachelor. In conversation with my colleagues Andrew McCarthy of National View

online and that is McCotter of American greatness, we turn to the court dates, the felony court dates

before former President Trump. The presumption at the end of 23

was that the first court date would be the federal trial in the District of

However, because of the Supreme Court decision to rule on the obstruction charges,

two of the four charges against the former president are obstruction.

That decision is expected in late June.

However, Andrew, Andy McCarthy brings forward the possibility that the Manhattan trial by Alvin Brake the district attorney

long believed to be the weakest case but nonetheless it is it was the first

piece of news in 23 about these matters. That case was scheduled initially for March

25th and it was believed that it wouldn't go forward because the federal trial would be

underway.

However, now Andy entertains otherwise.

Here's Andrew McCarthy to explain.

And also the details, the housekeeping of how you schedule trials how long they take what

the judge's calendar is what the lawyer's calendar is
