Judge Tanya Chutkan laid down the law with Trump this morning and set a March 4, 2024 trial date. These words in particular are welcome: “Setting a trial date does not depend and should not depend on the defendant’s personal and professional obligations. Mr. Trump, like any defendant, will have to make the trial date work regardless of his schedule.”

This is actually highly unusual. Judges will usually accommodate the accused because they're not convicted, and therefore, the effect of scheduling on the accused, including on professional obligations, are to be considered when scheduling hearings. Plus, this was the first time he made such a request. You'd know this if you spent more time in a court room and less time in the men's room. -

He doesn't have to appear for trial unless he's being called as a witness. He can appear through counsel. Though most counsels would want him present to advise them about questioning, and the judge may have due process concerns if he's absent. -

The terms of bail may explicitly require him to appear for trial, so a pretrial motion to appear through counsel and a waiver of rights may be required. -
