The defence is likely to push for a later start, with the 77-year-old Republican billionaire facing four criminal trials as he bids for a return to the White House.

WASHINGTON, United States - Prosecutors asked a judge Wednesday to set a trial date of 4 March 2024 for the election racketeering and conspiracy case against former president Donald Trump in the US state of Georgia.

Prosecutors in Atlanta charged 18 co-defendants with multiple offenses linked to the alleged conspiracy, including Trump's former personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and his White House chief of staff, Mark Meadows. She asked for a first, procedural hearing for the defendants - known as the arraignment - for the week of 5 September.

Trump already has a packed courtroom calendar, featuring a civil fraud suit against his business in October and two further civil trials in January - one starting on 15 January, the day of Iowa's first-in-the-nation nomination vote.
