00:00 It's Benzinga and here's what's on the block.
00:02 Former President Donald Trump has ramped up his rhetoric in opposition to his criminal
00:06 indictments, targeting judges, prosecutors, and potential witnesses in posts attacking
00:11 his four active criminal cases.
00:13 However, his war of words could backfire, as it may incentivize judges to bring his
00:17 cases to trial more quickly.
00:20 Trump has argued for his trials to be postponed until after the November 2024 presidential
00:25 election, but experts suggest that judges may be inclined to silence pretrial comments
00:29 by setting quick trial dates.
00:31 Trump who faces 91 total felony counts claims that charges are part of a conspiracy to derail
00:37 his 2024 campaign and has promised not to be silent.
00:41 ABC News reported that Trump's own legal advisors have urged him to cancel the event.
00:46 Special Counsel Jack Smith has asked for the DC case to go on trial on January 2nd.
00:50 Two of Trump's criminal cases are already set to head to trial in the midst of the 2024
00:55 election cycle.
