WASHINGTON Prosecutors in former U.S. President Donald Trump's election interference case in Georgia are requesting an Aug. 5, 2024, trial start date, a court filing on Friday showed.

"This proposed trial date balances potential delays from Defendant Trump’s other criminal trials in sister sovereigns and the other defendants’ constitutional speedy trial rights," Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said.
