Georgia judge to weigh requests to separate Trump co-defendants' cases

A Georgia judge is set to consider motions from former Trump lawyers Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro to sever their cases from the 41-count indictment charging them and 18 others with violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization (RICO) Act. The indictment alleges their participation in schemes to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia. Powell and Chesebro have pleaded not guilty and are seeking separate trials, arguing that their charges are unrelated to each other. The judge will also ask prosecutors for an estimate of the time and resources required for a joint trial of all 19 co-defendants.
