This event has been postponed. The new date is yet to come.
March 4, 2024, is the date set for the Federal Conspiracy Trial of former American President Donald J. Trump.
For the majority of Americans, the trial of America's former President on conspiracy charges to overturn a Federal election is a welcomed addition to the 2024 justice calendar. For his actions and lack of action on and before the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol, the former President is charged with
—Conspiracy to violate civil rights
—Conspiracy to defraud the government
—Corrupt obstruction of an official proceeding
—Conspiracy to carry out such obstruction
For Mr. Trump's acolytes and true believers, applying American law to their beloved leader's actions is seen as traitorous, partisan, and malicious—facts are irrelevant to his devotees. As a countermand, Mr. Trump declared his candidacy for President a full six months before, historically, candidates file once it became clear he faced severe legal issues in multiple states and on a federal level. A Presidential candidacy, he believed, was a way to postpone accountability, raise more funds, and potentially erase any guilty verdicts should he and his team regain power. To complete the circular logic, as a Presidential candidate, he could use the excuse that court appearance unfairly biased the electorate against him.
For most Americans, the cognitive dissonance on display with his proponents is confounding, and these ploys are transparent skulduggery. For his enraptured base, 30 percent of the Republican party numbering over 20 million souls, the charges prove he is a victim. The fact that the charges are serious, detailed, and demonstrate the President violated their rights too, does not factor into their deification of the candidate.
This trial will be the first time a former American President has been charged with conspiracy and obstruction, violating the Presidential oath of office and United States law. A fair trial is critical to the future of the United States; globally, it is essential to the nation's standing and credibility with other countries. The former President will be judged not guilty if the facts do not support a guilty verdict beyond a reasonable doubt. However, if the facts prove he is guilty, he will be sentenced and jailed. This has never happened in the United States, but it has happened and does happen frequently worldwide. One of the founding principles of the United States is that no man can be accused of a crime and found guilty of that crime without a fair trial judged by his peers.
Mr. Trump is lucky he lives in the United States. Not all nations treat those accused of a crime justly, particularly leaders.
PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
