Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is reiterating her request for an Oct. 23 trial date for former President Donald Trump and 18 others charged in the ongoing Georgia election case.
On Aug. 24, Mr. Kenneth Chesebro, one of the defendants in the case, demanded the exercise of his right to a speedy trial—which would require that Mr. Chesebro stand trial earlier than the March 4, 2024, date originally proposed by Ms. Willis. Former federal prosecutor Sidney Powell, another co-defendant in the case, also requested a speedy trial.
