Former President Donald Trump 's legal team proposes a court schedule in his federal election interference case.

The move would push the start of a potential trial until well after the next inauguration.

Trump is accused of trying to defraud the American public and disenfranchise voters across several states.

The Supreme Court gave wide protection to the former president to prevent him from being prosecuted as president.

Jack Smith's team has said explicitly that they believe that Trump didn't actually believe the lies he was spreading about the election.

The new indictment states that Trump and his co-conspirators repeated the lies even after they were publicly disproven.

Trump 's team says the election conspiracy theories were "pausible and maintained in good faith".
