Sidney Powell, ex-Trump lawyer, seeks swift trial in Georgia case.
Former Trump Attorney Sidney Powell Requests Speedy Trial in Georgia Racketeering Case
Former Trump attorney Sidney Powell, one of 18 co-defendants in former President Donald Trump’s Georgia racketeering case, has made a bold move by requesting a speedy trial in her case. This comes after attorney Kenneth Chesebro also made a similar request, which was granted, setting his court date for October 23.

However, Trump has opposed Chesebro’s motion and sought to have the two cases separated if the request was granted. Judge Scott McAfee approved this request, and it is expected that Trump will do the same if Powell’s request is granted.
Under Georgia state law, anyone who applies for a speedy trial in the current term must be granted a trial by November 3. Failure to hold a trial by this date would result in the defendant being acquitted of all charges.
Powell herself is facing six counts, including conspiracy to commit election fraud. The stakes are high, and the pressure is on as the legal battle unfolds.
Meanwhile, State GOP Sen. Shawn Still, who is also involved in Powell and Trump’s case, awaits a hearing on whether his case will be moved to federal court on September 18.
Stay tuned for more updates on this gripping legal saga.
