"Powell Joins Speedy Trial Request in Georgia Election Case"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by Yahoo Canada Finance
Sidney Powell, former attorney for Donald Trump, has requested a speedy trial in the Georgia election interference case, following co-defendant Kenneth Chesebro. The trial date for Chesebro has been set for October 23, and Powell's request is pending approval. Both Powell and Chesebro are accused of violating Georgia's racketeering act by attempting to assemble "alternative" electors. The discovery process will involve a large quantity of evidentiary materials, with attorneys instructed to provide USB drives capable of holding at least two terabytes of data by September 5. The request for a speedy trial by Chesebro is seen as a strategic move, potentially separating him and Powell from the more high-profile defendant, Trump.
