Trump's Looming Presence and Plea Deals Shake Up Georgia Trial

Two lawyers, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, who attempted to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia, are set to face trial this month in the first trial of the racketeering case against former President Donald Trump and 18 others. While Trump won't be present, the trial will focus on the alleged criminal organization's efforts to change the election outcome. The trial may provide insights into how Trump will fare when his turn before a jury comes. Prosecutors have been seeking plea deals with some defendants, while others reject the offers. The trial is expected to shed light on the historic prosecutions of a former president and his associates.
