Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, 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.

That’s a pretty spicy date. Mostly, I’m happy they didn’t schedule it for 2026 like they’ve been asking.
The judge’s response to that was the polite legalese translation of “lol, no”.
This seemed to be popular information when I posted it (ahem) “elsewhere”. Thought it might be welcome to have here.

Looks like a certain candidate may find himself double-booked on March 4.
Seeing that the federal trial starts on the 4th, there’s no way Georgia’s going to step on that.
Next step are the arraignments where everyone gets to plead “not guilty”, that starts with Trump at 9:30 AM on Sept. 6th.
Sometime after that the trial date will be set.
