LAS VEGAS (AP) — Six Republicans accused of falsely declaring Donald Trump the winner of Nevada’s 2020 presidential election will not stand trial until next January. A Nevada judge on Monday pushed back the trial date because of conflicting schedules. The judge also set a hearing for next month on a bid by state GOP chairman Michael McDonald and other defendants to throw out the indictment. Defense attorneys contend that Nevada state Attorney General Aaron Ford improperly brought the case in Las Vegas instead of Carson City, the state capital. They also say he failed to present evidence to the grand jury that would have exonerated their clients.
