Trump opposes an October trial date in Georgia case
Former President Donald Trump will soon ask to sever his case from one of the defendants facing charges in the Fulton County, Georgia criminal case.
Trump's attorney in the Georgia case, Steven Sadow, told the court Thursday afternoon that the former president opposes the prosecutor's request to hold the trial for all defendants in October.
In response to a motion for a speedy trial from Trump's co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro, Fulton County DA Fani Willis requested that a trial "commence for all 19 defendants on October 23, 2023."
Sadow wrote that Trump "opposes the State’s 'motion for entry of pretrial scheduling order' and 'motion to specially set trial'" and that he "will be filing a timely motion to sever his case from that of co-defendant Chesebro, who has filed a demand for speedy trial, or any other co-defendant who files such a demand."
Trump retained Sadow, an Atlanta-based white collar defense attorney, to represent him in the Fulton County case. Sadow replaced Drew Findling, who had been representing him in the matter. Findling is no longer representing Trump, a source familiar told Fox News Digital.
