A group of conservative legal experts on Monday filed an amicus brief in support of the Jan. 2 proposed trial date in the federal criminal case against former President Trump over his efforts to remain in power after the 2020 election. 

The group, which comprises former attorneys and judges who served or were appointed during Republican administrations, argued the repercussions of this trial on American democracy “could not be any more profound” and endorsed the trial date proposed by special counsel Jack Smith’s team, as opposed to the significantly later time frame suggested by Trump.

“There is no more important issue facing America and the American People — and to the very functioning of democracy — than whether the former president is guilty of criminally undermining America’s elections and American democracy in order to remain in power notwithstanding that the American people had voted to confer their power upon the former president’s successor, President Joseph Biden,” they wrote. 

The friend-of-the-court brief argued it was in the best public interest to have a speedy trial, and the American people have a right to see the legal matters resolved. Trump is running for another term in the White House in 2024 and is, by far, the front-runner in hypothetical GOP primary polls.

“There is a surpassing public interest in the expeditious resolution of these questions, in order that these questions raised by the former president’s conduct for which he now stands charged do not continue much longer to cast a dark shadow over America and her democratic system of government and governance,” they argued.

The 11 experts cited are Michael Luttig, who testified before the Jan. 6 committee, as well as Donald Ayer, Steven Calabresi, John Farmer Jr., Stuart Gerson, Alberto Gonzales, Richard Painter, Jonathan Rose, Paul Rosenzweig and Stanley Twardy Jr.

“For the first time in American history, a former President of the United States stands charged with grave crimes against the United States of America that he allegedly committed while President. The serious offenses alleged in United States v. Donald J. Trump constitute a knife to the heart of America’s democracy and its democratic system of government and governance. The 9 former president’s trial is of transcendent consequence for the Nation,” they wrote. 

“As the eyes of democracies around the world look to America as the continuing proof of democracy’s promise, it is important that this prosecution and the trial of the former president be resolved expeditiously, consistent with Constitution and the rule of law.”

Today, is my 79th birthday!  What a gift: 

  • Former President Donald Trump has been indicted in the 2020 election subversion case in Georgia. Prosecutors say Trump and others "joined a conspiracy to unlawfully change the outcome" of the election.
  • There are 19 defendants named in the 41-count indictment. In addition to Trump, they include his lawyers, John Eastman and Rudy Giuliani, as well as former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows. Read the full indictment.
  • Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said the 19 defendants have until noon on August 25, to "voluntarily surrender."
  • Fourth indictment: The former president, who is the current GOP 2024 frontrunner, has already been indicted in three separate cases this year. He denies any wrongdoing in the cases and says they are politically motivated.
