First scheduled GOP primary debate timed to overlap Trump's federal trial

Former President Donald Trump's trial for mishandling government documents could coincide with the first Republican primary debate.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered a two-week trial beginning on Aug. 14.

But just nine days after the trial is set to begin, Fox News plans to host a GOP presidential primary debate in Milwaukee.

Trump has hinted that he may skip some of the Republican primary debates. He has not said if he will attend the Fox News debate.
