One of the federal cases for election interference (in Washington DC) is proposing a Jan 2 trial date. The federal case for classified documents (in Florida) is set for May 20. That one could hypothetically pass a judgement after Trump has secured the GOP nomination, but before the party convention.

The investigation taking its sweet time is typical.

    I imagine there will be multiple defense requests to move these dates back, and what, is the judge going to force his attorneys to go to trial when they say they aren't ready? This goes double if they say they are tracking down witnesses and subpoenaing information to bolster their case. And of course you'll see a bunch of creative motions filed, which will need to be litigated before trial.
