Chris Christie Predicts Disastrous Trial Date for Trump<\/h2>\n<p>Former New Jersey Gov.\u2063 Chris Christie has made a bold prediction regarding the trial of former President Donald Trump. Christie warns that the trial, set to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-derek-chauvin-agreed-to-plea-bargain-but-trump-ag-william-barr-rejected-deal\/\" title=\"Report: Derek Chauvin Agreed To Plea Bargain But Trump AG William Barr Rejected Deal\">begin jury selection<\/a> on March\u200c 4, will have disastrous consequences for the \u2063Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>According to Christie, this trial\u2062 will force Trump to spend a significant amount of time in court instead of on the campaign trail during a crucial \u2063period in the election\u200b cycle. It is worth noting that\u2062 the trial is scheduled to commence just one day before Super Tuesday.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns for Republican\u2063 Voters<\/h3>\n<p>Christie expressed \u200dhis concerns for \u200dRepublican voters, emphasizing \u200bthat their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rep-matt-gaetz-suggests-potential-desantis-2024-presidential-run\/\" title=\"Rep. Matt Gaetz Suggests Potential DeSantis 2024 Presidential Run\">potential presidential candidate<\/a> will\u200d be tied up in a courtroom in Washington, D.C. for four to six weeks, starting from March 4. This, he believes, will \u2064hinder Trump&#8217;s ability to\u2063 campaign against President Joe Biden, ultimately spelling disaster for the Republican Party.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Christie, who is \u200dalso running for the GOP nomination, questioned Trump&#8217;s suitability as the party&#8217;s nominee due to his alleged &#8220;personal conduct&#8221; and crimes. \u200bWhile acknowledging the\u2063 realism of the March 4 trial date, Christie speculated that special counsel Jack Smith may have\u200d charged Trump alone to expedite the trial process.<\/p>\n<h3>Setting the Trial Date<\/h3>\n<p>District Judge Tanya Chutkan was responsible for selecting the trial date. Smith&#8217;s team\u2064 requested a trial date of January 2, 2024, while Trump&#8217;s \u2064team recommended starting the trial in April 2026. Ultimately, the trial date \u2063was set for\u2064 March \u20644.\u200d It is important \u2062to note that this case is just one of four against the former president, who is currently the front-runner \u200bfor the GOP nomination.<\/p>\n<p>Trump pleaded not guilty on August\u200d 3\u2064 to four <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/christie-predicts-trump-march-trial-date-will-be-disastrous-for-republican-party\/\" title=\"Christie warns of Republican Party's doom with Trump's March trial.\">federal \u2062felony charges related<\/a> to Smith&#8217;s accusations of attempting to overturn the 2020 election, which ultimately led to the January 6 Capitol riot. Additionally, Trump\u200d faces indictments\u200c in New York and Georgia, with a total of 40 felony charges related to the mishandling of \u2064classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort \u2063in Florida after leaving the Oval Office. \u200bThroughout all these cases, Trump maintains his \u2063innocence.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\">Click here<\/a> to read more from\u200d The Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former New Jersey Gov.
