"Lengthy Trump Racketeering Trial Expected in Fulton County"

A Georgia judge expressed concerns about the timetable for the racketeering trial involving two of Donald Trump's co-defendants, Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro, as prosecutors aim to bring all 19 defendants to trial together on an expedited schedule. The trial is expected to last about four months and feature testimony from over 150 witnesses. The judge denied requests for separate trials for Powell and Chesebro, setting an October 23 trial date for both. However, the judge has yet to decide when the other 17 defendants will go to trial. Lawyers for Trump argue that an October trial date does not allow enough time for preparation.
