"Lengthy Legal Battle: Trump's Georgia Trial Set for Four-Month Duration"

Prosecutors in the Georgia racketeering case against Donald Trump and 18 others estimate that the trial will last four months and involve around 150 witnesses. The trial date has not been set yet, but prosecutors aim to begin on October 23. All defendants have pleaded not guilty and waived in-person arraignments. Some defendants have sought to sever their cases, but the judge denied the motion, stating that separate trials would inconvenience jurors and complicate scheduling. Six defendants have requested severance, while others are seeking to move their cases to federal court. The trial for two defendants, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, will proceed together on October 23.
