In the midst of a considerable amount of legal woes, Trump appears to be spending his Sunday focusing on what’s most important to him presently . . . golf.

“I can’t go. I have to stay around and fight off the Crazed Radical Left Lunatics,” Trump says

    I don’t think there’s anything coming up immediately that demands his presence in court. This is likely just another lie like “I can’t release my tax returns because I’m under audit.”

    Looking at my timeline, the next events are setting a trial date for Sidney Powell, who has requested an expedited trial in Georgia. That could happen as soon as Monday.

    Also on Monday, we get a trial date for the 1/6 charges in Washington D.C.

    But I don’t see Trump being present for either.

    Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.

    The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it’s a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus.

      Thank you so much for these running summaries, they genuinely make the whole situation actually followable for a non-American <3

        Thanks! It started on Reddit when people kept complaining about hearing the same events over and over with no apparent progress and I was like “Do people not realize we’re talking about MULTIPLE investigations here and each one has their own process?”

        Guess not… so I wrote it up! Helps me keep track too! ;)

        Locking in a trial date for the 1/6 case will be a huge help, then we can just focus on Georgia.

      Is he allowed to leave the country while the trials are pending? I would think that would be a big flight risk.
