The trial date against Trump for the alleged electoral conspiracy in Georgia, in the air: he will not be tried in October

Donald Trump will not sit in the dock in October. A Georgia judge has determined that only two of the 19 people charged in the case of alleged electoral conspiracy involving the former president will be tried in October, which for now leaves in the air the date on which the magnate will sit in the dock.

Judge Scott McAfee, of Fulton County, has only given the green light to the trials against lawyers Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, who did request to expedite procedures. The prosecutor in the case, Fani Willis, had requested that the 19 defendants be tried jointly in October. “The court simply does not have a large enough space,” the judge stated among his arguments, who has even raised the possibility of separating the remaining 17 again, according to NBC News.

The judge's decision does not establish any precise date for Trump and the other 16 missing defendants, but the deadlines are already delayed at least until December. Trump has three other judicial fronts open, so the cases are expected to accumulate in 2024.

Trump and the rest of the defendants pleaded not guilty when they surrendered to the authorities in August. They are accused of being part of a criminal network that aspired to reverse the results of the 2020 presidential elections, in which Democrat Joe Biden won.
