She wants \u2062the trial\u200b to begin in \u200cjust two months.<\/p>\n<p>This updated timeline \u2062proposal comes after defendant Kenneth Chesebro demanded a &#8220;speedy trial&#8221; by filing a\u2064 motion. Chesebro, who voluntarily surrendered earlier this week and\u200d was released on $100,000 bond, is one of the highest-profile defendants in the\u200c case, along with former President Donald\u200d Trump and Rudy Giuliani.<\/p>\n<div class=\"shortcode\">\n<div class=\"border-comp-divider mb-4 mr-4 w-full max-w-[500px] border px-5 py-4 text-[16px] leading-[20px] text-[#262626] md:float-left\">\n<div class=\"mb-3 font-sans text-[16px] font-semibold uppercase leading-[19px] text-[#2F2F2F]\">Related Stories<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-2\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/giuliani-to-surrender-today-in-fulton-county-2020-election-case-5479097\">Giuliani Surrenders at Fulton County Jail in Georgia Election \u200cCase<\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">8\/23\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/giuliani-to-surrender-today-in-fulton-county-2020-election-case-5479097\"><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-4 flex gap-2\">\n<div class=\"grow\">\n<div class=\"mb-1 line-clamp-2\">\n            <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/trump-will-be-treated-as-a-common-prisoner-fulton-county-sheriff-5478480\">Trump Will Be Treated as a Common\u2062 Prisoner: Fulton County Sheriff<\/a>\n          <\/div>\n<div class=\"text-comp-caption text-[14px] leading-[18px]\">8\/22\/2023<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"shrink-0 basis-[120px]\">\n          <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theepochtimes.com\/us\/trump-will-be-treated-as-a-common-prisoner-fulton-county-sheriff-5478480\"><\/a>\n        <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Willis had initially set a \u200ctrial date\u200d for March 4, 2024, but critics argued that it was rushed \u200cand politically motivated.

It also mentions a meeting where\u2062 the possibility of Chesebro meeting with elector nominees in Wisconsin was discussed.<\/p>\n<p>The \u200dindictment also includes Chesebro&#8217;s email to Giuliani outlining strategies\u200d to delay the vote counting\u200c on January 6, 2021. Multiple emails between Chesebro, Giuliani, and Eastman, another attorney, discuss the validity of various paths \u2062to using alternate electors.<\/p>\n<h2>Potential\u200d Removal<\/h2>\n<p>Meadows and Clark have argued that, as high-ranking federal officials, they are \u200dimmune to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-trump-aide-files-to-have-georgia-2020-election-racketeering-charges-dropped\/\" title=\"Ex-Trump aide seeks dismissal of Georgia 2020 election racketeering charges.\">state criminal proceedings<\/a>. Shafer, a former chair of the Republican Party of Georgia and an alternate elector, claims his role was legitimized \u2063by \u2063an act of Congress, making him a federal officer. Giuliani, who was serving as Trump&#8217;s attorney, \u2062is also \u2063planning to file a notice of removal, arguing that he was acting as a federal officer.<\/p>\n<p>Giuliani had previously\u200c criticized Willis&#8217;s proposed six-month timeline\u200c for the trial, stating that RICO cases he tried in the past took longer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fulton County DA Fani Willis seeks trial for all 19 defendants in the election result racketeering case within two months.
