An Atlanta prosecutor on Thursday asked a judge to begin the Georgia election interference trial for Donald Trump and 18 other defendants on Oct. 23.
The scheduling request by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis came a day after one of Trump’s co-defendants, the attorney Kenneth Chesebro, filed a demand for a speedy trial in the county Superior Court.
Willis directly cited Chesebro’s demand in her filing Thursday.
Trump is due to surrender later Thursday to be booked in the case.
