The special counsel's office has proposed that a federal judge set Jan. 2, 2024 as the start of former President Donald Trump's trial on charges related to efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

In January, prosecutors got a search warrant directing Twitter to produce data and records related to the @realDonaldTrump account. The company was ordered not to tell Trump about this.

Former President Donald Trump faces 37 counts over allegations of withholding classified and top-secret documents. His lawyers wanted the trial delayed until after the 2024 presidential election.

The former president says he learned Sunday that he may be charged with a federal crime by a grand jury investigating the Capitol siege. A spokesman for special counsel Jack Smith declined to comment.
