Donald Trump is seeking to overturn one of his criminal cases -- very soon -- he wants his federal election interference trial to begin after he receives another blow in the White House.

In new legal documents, obtained by TMZ, Trump is seeking to delay his next trial until April 2026...instead of the January 2024 trial date that Special Counsel Jack Smith wants.

The start of Trump's proposed trial would fall about 17 months after the 2024 presidential election, in which he is the leading Republican candidate.

According to the documents, Trump says the delay is necessary because prosecutors produced 11.5 million pages of documents — which he says piled up would stretch nearly 5,000 feet into the sky — and his lawyers need time to go through everything. of this one.

The former president now faces 4 criminal cases, but this ties into his federal indictment for attempting to undermine the 2020 election with his actions on, before, and after January 6, 2021.
