Former U.S. President Donald Trump announced that he should not be tried until after the presidential elections in 2024, as reported by the "Novosti" agency. Trump stated about his trial that "it should never happen given my right to free speech and the significant corruption of Biden," in a post on his social media platform "Truth Social." He condemned the prosecution's request to start the trial on January 2, 2024, in the Capitol riot case, considering it "interference in the elections." It is noted that the U.S. prosecution requested to begin Trump's trial.
