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, 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.
And that is a 100% reasonable start date. There is absolutely no point in delaying, and two months is plenty of time for the attorneys to review the pertinent evidence. Trump's lawyers will definitely try to argue that they need years to review everything, but that is 100% bullshit. The evidence - the text messages, the phone calls, the fraudulent elector certifications, etc. - simply aren't very complicated to go through. They're not.
