Trump's Co-Defendants Take Their Chances in Court

As Donald Trump and his 18 co-defendants in the Fulton County racketeering case face legal proceedings, at least eight of them have filed motions to delay, move, or expedite their cases. Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani advises the co-defendants to make a deal with the prosecution, as Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis likely wants to try Trump and flip the other defendants against him. The legal maneuvering includes some defendants invoking their right to a speedy trial, while others seek to remove their cases to federal court. Defense attorneys suggest that the prosecution may benefit from divisions among the defendants, while former FBI agents and prosecutors note that some defendants may choose to roll the dice and go to trial. The case represents uncharted territory in American legal history, as it involves a former president facing charges under Georgia's RICO Act.
