Trump's 'nightmarish' calendar is about to get even worse: CNN analyst
January 09, 2024
A CNN panel on Tuesday said that former President Donald Trump is going to be swamped by the political and legal calendar he's facing in his latest bid to run for the White House.
Looking at all of the scheduled court dates that Trump is due to face in the coming weeks, CNN's Kaitlan Collins argued that the schedule "could be a nightmare very much in the courtroom and what happens with the general election" later this year.
Collins allowed that media coverage focused on his multiple criminal indictments "is beneficial to Trump in the primary" but added that "it won't be beneficial to him if he is going up against Joe Biden."

CNN legal analyst Laura Coates, meanwhile, noted that Trump is choosing to appear in court on Tuesday, but added that he will not be able to pick and choose the dates where he appears in court should he go to criminal trial in the coming weeks.
"Don't forget, this might be voluntary for Trump today, but if [the appeals court] think he does not have immunity, he goes into a criminal trial and he has to sit and that calendar becomes all the more nightmarish," she argued.
