MANHATTAN - More thrilling than any summer blockbuster, a federal judge set a July 5 hearing date for the Democratic National Committee’s wide-ranging conspiracy claims over its digital sabotage before the 2016 election.

U.S. District Judge John Koeltl will preside over the July pretrial conference, which is set to kick off at 10:30 a.m.
