Court schedules Brian Cole trial for February 16, 2027
At a July 8, 2026 hearing in United States v. Brian J. Cole, Jr., U.S. District Judge Amir H. Ali set trial to begin February 16, 2027. AP and ABC reported that the parties expect trial to last approximately two weeks and that the next status conference is September 10, 2026. Cole has pleaded not guilty. The scheduling order does not establish the truth of the government’s allegations. The published reports omitted the trial year; the archive resolves 2027 from the calendar context pending the native minute entry.
