Trump's Georgia Election Case: Speedy Trial Requested, Arraignment Waived, and Proceedings to be Televised

Former President Donald Trump has requested to sever his criminal election interference case in Georgia from his 18 co-defendants who are seeking a speedy trial. Trump's defense attorney argued that he would not have enough time to prepare if his trial begins on October 23, as scheduled for one of the co-defendants. Two co-defendants, including pro-Trump attorney Sidney Powell, have already requested speedy trials. Trump has been charged with 91 counts in four separate criminal cases as he campaigns for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination.
