Fulton County D.A. Fani Willis proposes new Oct. 23 trial date for Trump and 18 co-defendants
Fani Willis, the district attorney in Fulton County, Georgia, asked a judge on Thursday to set a trial date of Oct. 23, 2023, for former President Donald Trump and the 18 other defendants charged in connection with alleged efforts to overturn the state's 2020 election results.
Willis previously proposed that the trial should start on March 4, 2024. But in response to defendant Kenneth Chesebro's request for a speedy trial, Willis called for proceedings to begin for all defendants on Oct. 23 of this year instead.
The proposed timeline is aggressive and sure to elicit pushback from defendants given the complexity of the case and the mountains of evidence that defense teams are entitled to review before any trial begins. In each of the three other cases in which Trump faces charges, his attorneys have asked for trials to be delayed beyond the presidential election next November.
It's unclear when the judge in the Georgia case might decide on a trial schedule.
Chesebro, an attorney who supported Trump, filed a "demand for speedy trial" on Aug. 23.
"Without waiving any objection as to the sufficiency of defendant Kenneth John Chesebro's filing, the state requests that this court specifically set the trial in this case to commence on October 23, 2023," Willis wrote in response.
Scott Grubman, an attorney for Chesebro, said in a statement that his client "will be prepared to move forward with trial for whatever date the Court ultimately sets." In an earlier statement, Grubman said Chesebro "maintains his innocence and remains confident as the legal process continues."
Trump and 18 of his associates were indicted on racketeering, election fraud and other charges last week related to alleged attempts to overturn the state's 2020 election results.
The new proposed trial date comes as defendants in the case, including former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, continue to turn themselves in ahead of a noon Friday deadline to surrender. Trump is expected to arrive in Fulton County for processing on Thursday evening and has denied all wrongdoing. Giuliani has also maintained his innocence.

Joe Scarborough: "I'm 6'4" and have stood next to Trump numerous times.... he's maybe 6'1" maybe 6'1 1/2" at best.... and 215lbs? What's the over under on his weight... 78lbs?"Donald Trump's Height and Weight Measurements Don't Add Up
As well as an official mugshot of the 2024 presidential hopeful being released, Trump's arrest record states that he is 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs 215 pounds. However, as reported in April, after being arrested in an unrelated case in New York, he was 6 feet, 2 inches and weighed 240 pounds—suggesting Trump has gained an inch and lost 25 pounds in little over three months.

Sarah Palin says US civil war ‘is going to happen’ over Trump prosecutions
Former vice-presidential nominee condemns prosecutors over ‘travesty’ and says ‘we’re not going to keep putting up with this’
A second US civil war is “going to happen” if state and federal authorities continue to prosecute Donald Trump, the former Alaska governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin said.
“Those who are conducting this travesty and creating this two-tier system of justice, I want to ask them what the heck, do you want us to be in civil war? Because that’s what’s going to happen,” Palin told Newsmax on Thursday night.
“We’re not going to keep putting up with this.”
Palin was speaking to the rightwing network as Trump surrendered at a jail in Fulton county, Georgia, and a historic mugshot was released.
Wearing a blue suit, white shirt and red tie, the former president scowled into the camera. Authorities have warned of potential violence from his supporters.
Trump faces 13 racketeering and conspiracy charges in Georgia, related to his attempt to overturn his defeat there by Joe Biden in 2020. Eighteen allies, including the former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, are charged with him.
In total, Trump, 77, faces 91 criminal charges under four indictments, for state and federal election subversion, retention of classified records and hush-money payments to a porn star. He faces a civil trial over defamation arising from an allegation of rape, for which he was found liable. He faces investigations of his business affairs.
The former president denies all wrongdoing, claiming political persecution. Dominating national and key-state polling for the next Republican presidential nomination, he felt able to skip the first debate in Milwaukee this week.
Academics have long warned of the potential for Trump to stoke violence worse than the attack on Congress on 6 January 2021, when supporters he told to “fight like hell” to stop certification of Biden’s victory stormed the Capitol building. Nine deaths have been linked to the riot.
Barbara F Walter, author of How Civil Wars Start: And How to Stop Them and a CIA advisor, has written: “No one wants to believe that their beloved democracy is in decline, or headed toward war.”
But “if you were an analyst in a foreign country looking at events in America – the same way you’d look at events in Ukraine or Ivory Coast or Venezuela – you would go down a checklist, assessing each of the conditions that make civil war likely.
“And what you would find is that the United States, a democracy founded more than two centuries ago, has entered very dangerous territory.”
Palin was governor of Alaska when John McCain picked her as his running mate against Barack Obama in 2008. Many observers, including figures involved in the choice, now see her selection as the starting point for a Republican rush to extremism that shows no sign of slowing.
