The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's Jan. 6 case has given the two sides two weeks to propose a trial date.

In her first scheduling order filed in the case Friday morning, Judge Tanya Chutkan gave prosecutors until Thursday to propose a trial date and provide an estimate of how long they think it will take to make their case at trial.

She also ordered Trump's team to respond to that filing by Thursday, Aug. 17, and propose their own trial date and estimate of how long it will take to put on their defense.

In addition, Chutkan said she will not require Trump himself to appear at the upcoming status conference that's scheduled to take place on Aug. 28.

2. That wasn't supposed to happen at an arraignment,

Fantastic news that the #1 issue is Time Matters.

4. Well the arraignment had a magistrate judge overseeing it

but she apparently conveyed the message about what the scheduling would be for next steps.

5. Agreed! This already has gone on for far too long

It seems like years - because it has been! It's been impossible to turn on the news since 2016 without seeing or hearing that offensive twice impeached blowhard...

Because she's not in his pocket, unlike loose Cannon.
