The judge ruled that lawyers Chesebro and Powell will have a joint trial that will begin on Oct. 23.
Sept. 14, 2023, 1:56 PM UTCJudge Scott McAfee on Thursday agreed to allow two of former President Donald Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia election interference case — lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro — to go to trial sooner than the rest of the accused.with, among other things, violating Georgia racketeering laws in an effort to overturn the 2020 election. All 19, including Trump, pleaded not guilty.
"Defendants Chesebro and Powell will join each other at trial, however, the other 17 defendants are severed from these two. Additional severances may follow. All pretrial deadlines will proceed as scheduled without a stay of proceedings," McAfee wrote in an order filed in Fulton County superior court.
“The Fulton County Courthouse simply contains no courtroom adequately large enough to hold all 19 defendants, their multiple attorneys and support staff, the sheriff’s deputies, court personnel, and the State’s prosecutorial team,” McAfee wrote Thursday.
