This seemed to be popular information when I posted it (ahem) "elsewhere". Thought it might be welcome to have here.

Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, or the Arizona fake electors, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus. and has now been determined to be for damages only as Trump was already found liable.

As a function of the January 6th and Georgia trials, there are now lawsuits in two states to bar Trump from the primary ballot based on the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment.

Colorado: 9/6/2023 - Lawsuit filed.

Minnesota: 9/12/2023 - Lawsuit filed.

A long-shot write in candidate for President has also filed suits seeking to bar Trump from the ballot in Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Montana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

A federal lawsuit to bar trump from running in New Mexico has also been filed:

That's the same guy with the 11 at the bottom, I'll get it added.

Aha, I see what you mean... it's in the list in the last sentence.

I added it. :) It wasn't in the original article I linked, but it is the same guy.

Do we know at what hour?

Courthouse opens at 8:30 AM Eastern Time, so I'd expect court starts at 9 probably?

6 AM for me. Woof.

And correct me if I'm wrong, but none of this is yet related to January 6, that's still to come, right?

Yes and no. This is the Georgia election interference case, but there are aspects of it that will pop up in the January 6 trial, notably the conspiracy to halt the counting of electors by posting fake electors in multiple states (including Georgia).

Jack Smith was assigned to work on Trump's potential involvement in January 6, along with Mar a Lago documents, and any related crimes found along the way. So far he's charged for election interference attempts leading up to J6. He still hasn't made any incitement or seditious conspiracy charges just yet and may choose not to for whatever reason.

There's still enough that Trump is kinda legally megafucked as it is.
