Ahead of the Oct. 23 trial date, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, co-defendants of former President Donald Trump, had filed a flurry of motions and demurrers seeking to have specific charges against them and the case at large dismissed. Judge Scott McAfee issued a ruling just a week ahead of the case, dismissing all of them.
“The defendants have collectively filed and adopted several motions contending that every count with which they are charged is fatally defective and must be dismissed,” the judge wrote in the new order on the demurrers. “After reviewing the law, record, and parties’ arguments, and finding that each challenged count is facially sound as alleged, the motions are denied.”
