A judge ruled Thursday that former President Donald Trump’s Georgia election case won’t start in October.

The ruling (pdf) from Judge Scott McAfee of Fulton County Superior Court stated that the former president will be tried separately from and after the trials of two of his former attorneys, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, in the case.
